Regarding the Wheel of Time series, I read the first four, then stopped. They got long and tedious, and in some parts, too gorey for my taste. (Though I write RPG posts where I happily slay people!) On the other hand, the Chronicles of Narnia series is the best! They were actually some of the first books I heard. The Dawn Treader is the best, always has been, no doubt. I also nominate Ender's Game. Simply excellent, a wonderful exploration of human nature and morals, and good action.
