My favorite series would have to be Piers Anthony's Xanth series. Back in grade school I had to do one of those dreadded book reports and didn't have a darn clue as to what to read.
So with a week to go before the book report was due my mom brought a book home from the high school where she works. At first I thought the book was going to be dull since I had no idea what a pedestal was back then. In less than 6 hours I had devoured Dragon on a Pedestal and went to work on the book report.
I worked for hours on the book report, and when the day came to read the report to the class I was rather excited. One technicality though... the book had to be from the school's small and unimpressive library. I ended up getting a D+ for the report for reading a book from an outside library and for "reading a book beyond my skill level".
And people wonder why most kids from the school system I went to don't do so well.
