>>1258177Dude honestly the Witcher series is amazing. If you've ever played the games, it adds a ton, but you really don't have to.
It's like a coming of age, combined with how to deal with real life issues (loneliness, racism, friendships) in the setting of a living, massive fantasy world (kingdom politics, wizards/witches ploying to control world events through subtlety, average people living their lives as peasants superstitious af)
The ender games series is awesome. The first book is sort of its own story, then there are three more. Between the first and second books, the main character Ender takes a faster-thatn-light jump to a new world.. Also a trilogy of what happens to the earth after Ender leaves after the first book chronologically; a book about Endors endevors during the FTL jump, and a whole prequil trilogy leading up to the events of the first book. Well written all around, makes you question many aspects of human life and our worldviews.
Clan of the cave bear, first in the six book series called Earth's children series. Amazing series, basically first humans coexisting with the more prominent Neanderthals of the area. Takes place during the end of the first ice age. Great adventure, coming of age, and social struggle books.
All of the series in this list have multiple moments that will make you stop reading to stand up and pace around the room screaming, "Holy shit! No fucking way!! No way! FUck me, thats amazing!" Good stuff all around.
Fuck discworld. not worth your time.
