What are you?
Battlemage sound good :)
I don't think I know many trilogies, but I really liked LotR (books), so maybe this one ;)

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy! Its a trilogy of five books. I'm currently on the sixth.

I chose Battlemage, because I like Orcs Must Die.
I don't really have a favorite trilogy. I used to really like Star Wars, though.

Yay Magician! You should read "Faerie Tale." It's the only book Feist has written that doesn't take place in Midkemia/Kelewan. It's about a contemporary author who moves to upstate New York with his family, and their interactions with spirits from Irish folklore.
Check out the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. I've heard his Keys to the Kingdom series is good too, but I haven't read it.
I also enjoyed the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb.
Definitely read Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles and the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've read the first two books from the Kingkiller Chronicles but book two was a disappointment. By the end of it I didn't expect Rothfuss to be able to complete the story in one more book. Although I like the writing and characters there is a bit too much "deux ex machina" for my liking. Still, I may check out that third book just to say I gave him a fair try.

Yeah, the second Kingkiller book seemed to have gotten away from him a bit. I'm an optimist and have high hopes for the third one though. "The Slow Regard of Silent Things" is a side story set in the same world, not the third in the series.
I fully agree with the Sword of Truth series. Have you finished Wheel of Time though? What I tell people who are interested in reading it is to read the first 6 books (5 and 6 are slow, but the endings are worth it), read summaries of books 7-11, and read books 12-14. Robert Jordan really got sidetracked, but Brandon Sanderson brought it back.
Might want to check out the Sword of Shannara series if you haven't. It's kind of like Feist's work in that it's several series set at different times in the same world. First book is a Tolkien derivative, but the next two (Elfstones and Wishsong) are really good.
I don't think anyone else on this thread has mentioned A Song of Ice and Fire... I guess it is just taken for granted these days like Tolkien.
Other ones that have been mentioned elsewhere but I support are they Earthsea Cycle and Discworld. Discworld, for the most part, just got better and better as he went along.
Edit: Oh wow... how could I have forgotten Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock? Definitely read it.

Nobody has mentioned the Dark Tower series either but I guess I did ask for trilogies so that might be the reason.

Don't read books at all, so don't really feel ya.
Although I feel Star Wars fans have been slapped to the face after the expanded universe was marked as non-canon.

How dare you?! Pikachu is the greatest elemental wizard of them all!

Discworld is a classic that I have not gotten around to yet. That's another to add to the list.

I recommend all the fantasy by Michael Moorcock. The stuff is so weird, trippy and deep. Certainly a thinking persons fantasy writer. The Elric Saga is specially memorable and you can also get it in graphic novel form.

To clarify the above statement: Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is Tad Williams's epic fantasy trilogy, comprising The Dragonbone Chair, Stone of Farewell, and To Green Angel Tower
Thanks!

Dead Girls/Dead Boys/Dead Things by Richard Calder
Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks
Deepgate Codex trilogy by Alan Campbell
Deepgate gets extra points because 2 of my favorite characters in books are in that series (Carnival and John Anchor for those curious)
Oh and I'd be a necromancer so I could have a new girlfriend every night (even if they are slightly used)

The world had changed even before I discovered the foreign ship wrecked on the shore below Crydee Castle, but it was the harbinger of the chaos and death that was coming to our door. War had come to the kingdom of Isles, and in the years that followed it would scatter my friends across the world. I longed to train as a warrior and fight alongside our duke like his foster-brother, but when the time came, I was not offered that choice. My fate would be shaped by other forces. My name is Pug. I was once an orphaned kitchen boy, with no family and no prospects, bit I am destined to become a master magician... ~ Magician by Raymond E. Feist
Above is an excerpt from one of my favorite fantasy books. I recommend reading at least the first three. I tend to get tired of series that run too long. I'm looking at you Wheel of Time and Sword of Truth! I have many favorite trilogies and although I don't read as much as I used to they are still fresh in my mind. Feist, Freidman and Rawn were some of my favorite fantasy authors from back in the days where I devoured books in a matter of days. I'm always looking for a good fantasy/sci-fi trilogy to read but there is so much trash out there that passes for good storytelling. I should continue to read the Hunger Games trilogy. I don't think the movies do the books justice.
So, choose a magical profession then tell me what is your favorite trilogy. It doesn't only have to be books :P
