Everyday EMS Reading: 3 Lists of Trilogy Books

Long sci-fi, fantasy, or crime novels make for good reading while posting or between calls. I just finished the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy (awesome). When one book is not enough, three is even better. Three of my favorite triologies:

Lord of the Rings:
Read these books, even if you have seen the movies oodles of times.
1. The Fellowship of the Ring
2. The Two Towers
3. The Return of the Ring
Bonus: read the Hobbit before or after.

Millennium Trilogy:
I read the trilogy in April of this year. I started and couldn’t stop, reading the complete set in about eight days, including reading the final book on my phone using the Kindle app.
1. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
2. The Girl Who Played with Fire
3. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
Bonus: last time I checked (and watched) you can stream the Swedish movies of the Millennium trilogy on Netflix. I think an American movie version is coming out soon.

Hunger Games Trilogy
I found this trilogy when my Kindle Fire came with a one month trial of Amazon Prime (not a transformer) which includes the Kindle lending library. I believe I get one free ebook, from a select list, each month. I am not sure if I can wait to a month to read book two.
1. The Hunger Games
2. Catching Fire
3. MockingJay
Bonus: read these before the Hunger Games movie premiers in March 2012.

Do you have a favorite trilogy book set to add to this list? Any other book recommendations for the Everyday EMS reader?

    I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings triology.  After reading the book I watched the movies and was so disappointed.  The books took me to the land and made me part of the story.  The movie just watered everything down.  “My Precious” comes to mind.  So what is “My Precious” mean to you?

    I am working my way through the Millennium Trilogy now and am also enjoying it.  I have Hunger Games Trilogy for Kindle and would be willing to loan it to you if you would like.

      Thanks for the offer. I got 2 of 3 of the Hunger Triology free through the kindle lending library and bought the 3rd yesterday. Enjoy the Millennium trilogy.

    I get a lot of reading done at work. The Hunger Games is next on my list. Right now I’m just finishing up with the Steve Jobs biography and I highly recommend it. I would also recommend fantasy novel “The Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss. Not only a great story, but beautifully written.

      Thanks Jack. Are you reading on a Kindle or other e-reader?

      • Jack Bode

        I’ve got a Kindle. Its in my hands everyday.

    If you liked Lord of the Rings…. check out the Riftwar saga by Raymond Feist….

    To be fair, visually creating Lord of The Rings was an amazingly ambitious undertaking. I remember thinking that before I saw the film. I wondered, “How will they possibly create the Balrog, or Treebeard for that matter? And what about calling down the waters onto the Nazigul…how do you possibly create that? …Even in CGI.” I thought, for the most part, they did a pretty good job at a daunting task, visually creating Middle Earth.

    I think you grabbed some good ones here. Tolken would hate to hear you call his chronicle a trilogy, but I think it will always be known as one at this point. How about the original Bourne trilogy. The story has continued but it was originally conceived as a trilogy. Does that one count?

    • http://everydayemstips.com Greg Friese

      Sure Bourne counts. I can’t remember if I read the Bourne books. I think I did. I know I have seen one Bourne movie, maybe more.

      I always thought the Hobbit was the “prequel” to the LOTR. Do you count it as part of the LOTR?
