Any recs for a series that isn't scifi or romance?
I love the idea of a long adult series, but haven't found one to go crazy over in a long time.
Light sci-fi or light romance would be ok but neither of these genres are my fave.
I really like Tana French's series, even though it's not actually a series and just follows the same detectives. I really loved The Bronze Horseman, which I realize is romance-y but I loved it regardless.
Anything come to mind?

Have you read Rothfuss' Name of the Wind? Or A Song of Ice and Fire? Or, if you want epically long, The Wheel of Time?

Both are more like you said - stand alone books with the same folk and a vague overarching storyline about their relationships, but all great.

Clive Cussler writes a character Dirk Pitt, and each of his novels are big adventure, kinda macguyver. They're fantastic!! And same kind of thing as above - the same main character and his best buddies in each novel so you get to 'know them'. The characters all work for NUMA, the National Underwater and Marine Agency. Sahara, Flood Tide, Shock Wave, Raise the Titanic, Deep Six, and Iceberg are all fantastic, but Inca Gold is the best.
edit: Did you see the Matthew McConaughey movie 'Sahara'? It was based on the book... but of course, the book is lightyears better.

my read shelf:
I'm pretty much in love with Tana French these days and I've got the second Kensey and Gennaro book on my nightstand stack.
Wish I had more input. I loved the Wool trilogy but it's sci-fi. Same with Oryx and Crake.
edit: Like any long series, some of the (stand alone) novels are better than the others. The first one I ever read was Inca Gold, and it's still my very favorite
