I have the "Triology" as an old omnibus that I bought second hand. It's huge and very unpractical to read, but it does have all 5 parts in one book.

I'd take that or Steven Kings The Dark Tower series which I actually have as one long epub file that contains the complete series. That counts as one book too, right?

I just need as much as possible to read.

Isn't there a 6th finished by his son?

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Wow. I read the 5 books several times and had no idea about a 6th book.

But you are somewhat right. As Wikipedia tells me, Eoin Colfer of Artemis Fowl fame wrote another one with the widows permission.
