Biggest debate of all time

[baozun]

Do you want to know how to get a group of people all riled up, really quickly?

It's simple: ask them which one is better Star Wars or Star Trek 

And if all of them agree on that (which might happen in a like-minded crowd), ask them which sci-fi or fantasy novel (or book series) is the best.  They will definitely disagree on that.

I have great respect for The Lord of the Rings, which I think a lot of people will choose as the best fantasy book series ever written.  But I have to say that The Chronicles of Narnia is the best.  I love The Horse and His Boy (third book in the series), read it five times.  The Silver Chair (sixth book in the series) is also really good.  The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (first book) is a classic.  The author, C. S. Lewis, is very famous and has written many other great books besides this series.

Other Candidates for Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Book(s) of All Time
Harry Potter (so popular, but I found this series boring)
2001: A Space Odyssey (if you haven't read this, please do. it's really good)
The Martian (should be at your local library by now; it's in mine)
A Song of Ice and Fire
Outlander
The Earthsea Cycle (I <3 Ursula LeGuin)
The King in The Window (the perfect fantasy book for children)
A Wrinkle in Time
Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
Malazan Books of the Fallen
Guardians of Ga'Hoole (the perfect fantasy book series for children)

I loved The Martian. Could not put it down.  Some of the others you mentioned I will maybe read sometime. Thanks for the list.

Given your respect for both series/writers I'm going to assume that you maybe already knew this, but for those who do not: C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were actually contemporaries of each other and very good friends. I know the Lord of the Rings story much better than the Chronicles of Narnia, but they both have a lot to offer.

Never seen either- so I don't care haha

[BATISTAGIRL663]

This probably wouldn't Rao me up because I don't like either one and I've never seen either one but I do know people like you are saying that would have a complete fit over the two and they take it really serious

[NRAJOE]

Star Trek! 

[tuffys_daughtr]

I'd have to say Star Trek for me. Watched it a lot as a kid and have loved all the movies. Watched some of the Next Generation too.

[king4cash]

I must agree, that Star Trek is better out of the two....

[jwkelly]

Mass debating ?

[YedidahMccoy38]

Never seen either- so I don't care haha

[joywalk637]

I've only seen Harry Potter out of those options and I loved it.

[HotKentuckyMama]

Or - believe it or not - there could be people in the room that don't really care for either franchise.   

[brian8713]

I can't stand any of those nerd shows. Lol

[mjoseph1]

[Kiraleen]

I thought the biggest debate ever was, does the toilet paper roll go over or under? XD
