Do you agree with this list?
Do you think they are leaving out a lot of great trilogies?
What trilogies would be on your own personal list?

I think Lord of the Rings should definitely be on here

Glad to see The Gormenghast Novels Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus Alone on there. That would be on my personal top ten.

The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray is amazing but I'm not a great judge since off of the list I've only read His Dark Materials.

Mars shouldn't have an apostrophe, should it?

I have only read His Dark Materials out of those, and I thought that was a big load of poop, way overrated.

The only one I've read is 'His Dark Materials.' I thought 'The Golden Compass' was a wonderful, creative and unique book, but Pullman seemed to lose focus or something as each book went on. I'm not sure if, as a triology, it deserves to be on the list.

I believe you are correct on Mars, but your comment has prompted me to suggest the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation to you. You may have already read it, but it's a very entertaining book on punctuation (yes, entertaining).

I have heard of this book, have wanted it since it was published, but I still haven't gotten around to getting a copy. I have an extensive "To Buy" list. I am to books as Imelda Marcos was to shoes.

Oh I LOVED the Griffin & Sabine series. Such a cool concept, great art, and intriguing story. I highly recommend it!
