What is a book series that has changed your life?

For me it's Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, but particularly The Stormlight Archive. Great plot, great characters, interesting setting, and therapeutic themes. Big doorstopper books but if you enjoy that it's a great series.

One of the best quotes from it for me:

"The most important words a man can say are, “I will do better.” These are not the most important words any man can say. I am a man, and they are what I needed to say. The ancient code of the Knights Radiant says “journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us. But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one." -From The Stormlight Archive

A book series that truly left a mark on me is Haruki Murakami's "1Q84". The surreal blend of reality and fantasy, coupled with Murakami's intricate storytelling, captivated me completely. His characters often grapple with existential questions, which leads to deep introspection on my part. The way he weaves together themes of love, identity, and alternate realities is mesmerizing. 📚✨

"Changed my life"? None, and I doubt that could happen. I really like the books of Jules Verne, though (e. g. 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea). It's just the right mixture of science and fiction.

John Norman's Gor series. I read this when I as in college. It had to do with duty and honor.
