Great Great Books

[mcjuels]

I would recommend Katherine Kerr's Deverry series.  Start with 
Daggerspell.  I think there are 10-12 books in the series.  These 
are great books because even after all these books the story hasn't 
gone stale the way some series do.  The author still has fresh 
stories to tell.
