Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan (11 books total)
Dark Elf Series - R A Salvatore (12 or 13 total)
Both of these you can cheat on now since they've been made into comics. Well, only one of the WoT books so far, but I'm hoping for more.
Zanth Series - Piers Anthony (Original "trilogy" was 9 books) Only read these if you can tolerate really bad puns, since thats what the whole series is based off.
Discworld - Terry Prachett (Lots of books, can be read in any order)
Clan Novel Saga - Various Authors (Books based off Vampire: The Masquarade)
Anything in the Forgotten Realms series, especially the Harpers books. They're not called that naymore, tho.
Theres a Monster at the end of this book and Theres another monster at the end of this book (Both are Sesame street books, both star Grover and the second one co-stars Elmo. I highly recomend these to the guy that just had the really cute baby girl (sorry, I don't rememberhis name)
