Epic book series (any genre)

The Belgariad and Mallorean by David Edddings is worth a mention if you like Fastasy.

The Belgariad is fantastic.

The Mallorean is.... not.
It's nice to hang out with the characters again, but the overall storyline of the second series is mediocre, at best.

Has anyone else read the Brotherhood of War series by WEB Griffin? Really fun read series.

Have you read the Men At War series about the OSS in WW2. Really fun series. Not high literature, mind you, but enjoyable.

WEB Griffin originally published them under a pen name before they were re-released under his own name.

What are yer favs. I'm considering a series needs at a minimum of 5 thick ole books to be epic.

The Complete Hammer's Slammers. Only 3 books, but each is around 500 pages thicc.

If you track all of them down as their individual books before they were collected into "The Complete..." then it's about 6-7 separate books
