At work, I'm currently blessed(or cursed as it can sometimes feel) with lots of paid downtime. Since this started around the beginning of September, I've re-read all four Song of Fire and Ice novels, the eight or so Fletch novels, Battlefield Earth and a couple of history books. What I need now, is another series, preferably complete and easily obtained inexpensively from used book stores or borrowed from libraries.

I've considered grabbing some older Star Trek or Star Wars novels, but I've never been impressed with the stories I've read in the past.

Can anyone help with suggestions?

As always, the John Cart of Mars series is great, as well as the Tarzan books and Howard's Conan novels.
