10 epic sci-fi/fantasy book series to binge

From The Wheel of Time to Discworld to The Witcher to The Expanse, we have your next sci-fi and fantasy book binge!

Almost two months have passed since many of us received our first stay-at-home orders, and while the shock of such a drastic change in day-to-day life has faded with time, the ever-present war against cabin fever continues. The lockdown has inspired drastic rises in streaming viewing, online tabletop gaming, and all sorts of other things to keep ourselves from going crazy while we stay at home to stop the spread of COVID-19.

But if your eyes are feeling the strain from untold hours glued to screens, fear not. There are other ways to occupy your brain. I’m talking about books, of course! After all, there is no entertainment as cheap, nor any pleasure as lasting as a good book.

Fortune cookie wisdom aside, there are some immense, epic book series out there that lend themselves perfectly to an extended binge read. To make your search for your next favorite series a little easier, I’ve rounded up 10 of the best right here. Each has a multitude of books, meaning that if you start reading even one of these series today, you’ll likely have reading material for months at the least. And if you tried to read them all…well, it suffices to say you’d likely outlast this lockdown and then some.

Let’s dive in.
