Ugh. Sorry the above posted before I was finished.

A couple of pedantic comments::

The seven parts of In Search of Lost Time are all parts of a single very long novel and IMHO should not be considered part of “series.�� As such they definitely need to be read in order.

Also there is what I think is a typo for Farrell’s Empire Trilogy. Singapore Grip is the third in the trilogy not the 4th. Can be read in whatever order you like but chronologically they are in the “correct�� order here.

Sorry, accidentally hit post before I could edit.

One more comment: not listed is Kristin Lavransdatter but I think it should be: it was published as three separate books The Wreath, The Wife and The Cross. It is of course listed in Boxall as a single work and is readily available as such from Penguin in English.

I am still working.

Again, I accidentally hit the post button before I could finish.

The George Smiley Series contains 9 books and only three are on the list:

#3 The Spy Who Came In from the Cold
#5 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
#7 Smiley's People

The Purloined Letter is considered book (story?) #3 in the C. Auguste Dupin Series.

I'm nearly halfway through the Empire Trilogy at the moment, having read Troubles first and am a third through The Siege of Krishnapur. I agree with James that these can be read in any order.

Diane thank you for posting this information. I know it’s a work in progress, so I look forward to the final edited version of the list.

This is so very helpful. 🙏🙏

Seasonal Series by Ali Smith

Only #2, Winter is on the LIST.
The others being, of course, Autumn, Spring, and Summer.

My research has indicated that it can be read alone.

Radlett and Montdore Series

#1 - The Pursuit of Love - LIST book
#2 - Love in a Cold Climate - LIST book
#3 - Don't Tell Alfred - non-list book

The Edmund Trilogy by Edmund White

#1 - A Boy's Own Story - LIST book
#2 - The Beautiful Room Is Empty - LIST book
#3 - The Farewell Symphony - non-list book

On the Seventh Day Series

#1 - By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept - non-list book
#2 - Veronika Decides to Die - LIST book
#3 - The Devil and Miss Prym - LIST book

Research seems to indicate that you don't need to read the first book before the other two.

Hainish Cycle Series

Contains 9 books
Only #6, The Dispossessed, is on the LIST.

I understand it can be read as a standalone.
