My plan for Discworld is to read one book a month. This should be doable considering the books will probably never go out of print. <br /><br />Btw, I never feel "trapped" in any series because I have no qualms quitting if I feel it's not doing anything for me. Malazan is a good example of this as I quit after Toll the Hounds.Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06781567104543124593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-41703908457333003772010-02-13T18:44:55.386-07:002010-02-13T18:44:55.386-07:00@Ty - Yeah, you're stuck, but not on purpose. ...@Ty - Yeah, you're stuck, but not on purpose. :)<br /><br />@Elfy - I didn't ever feel stuck with ASoIaF now that I think of it, but definitely Wheel of Time and Malazan.<br /><br />@Melissa - My bookshelf is constantly calling me to pick up these series, but I'm way too quick to jump to the next flashy object. :)<br /><br />@Anonymous - Thanks, I will definitely not quit. Lately, I've actually had an itch to get back to find out what happens to Rincewind in The Light Fantastic.<br /><br />@Alec - The Riyria Revelations is the series starting with The Crown Conspiracy which everyone and their dog's fleas are reading lately. :) I read the next Dresden installment about once a year, which is about as fast as they come out. I don't see me getting finished any time soon.Bryce L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13951278240008332023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-13569451739874240792010-02-13T14:17:27.036-07:002010-02-13T14:17:27.036-07:00The Riyria Revelations

Pretty much up to date on all the others, although maybe not on Dresden, but that is by choice rather that time constraints.bloggeratfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070448374018984315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-9411061880452321572010-02-11T19:50:33.603-07:002010-02-11T19:50:33.603-07:008 series.

Many of them are just new and the next books are yet to come. Although there are a few that are out that I have not been able to get back to, to finish. These are the ones that really get to me, as I have the next books sitting here.<br /><br />This is a great idea. I think my list in on my book shelves to remind me what I need to look for in the future.Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-53495475737554872642010-02-11T18:06:42.659-07:002010-02-11T18:06:42.659-07:00I used to get this with WoT and ASoIaF, but I gave...I used to get this with WoT and ASoIaF, but I gave up Wot eventually and will read the whole thing from go to whoa when the final Sanderson book is released. I'll have to keep doing this with ASoIaF and I've already read The Gentleman Bastards 3 - 4 times and will do so again when Republic finally comes out. I've lost count of how many times I've read the various Flashmans and as the author is now dead we're unlikely to see any more of those.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-37688003200872401672010-02-11T17:58:38.592-07:002010-02-11T17:58:38.592-07:00What I am waiting on, mainly due to the fact that ...What I am waiting on, mainly due to the fact that they have yet to write them:<br /><br />GRRM (who isn't)<br />Erikson<br />Lynch<br />Brett<br />Rothfuss<br /><br />Not sure if stuck is the correct term but definitely waiting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360866031595951964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-81058133802842793172010-02-11T08:16:12.801-07:002010-02-11T08:16:12.801-07:00Oh no, that's the worst.

Then again, two of my favorite series' are taking their sweet time getting finished (A Song and Wheel of Time).<br /><br />I don't know why it is, but the trapped feeling I get makes me enjoy a series much less. That's why I started taking breaks to read shorter, more self-contained novels and it makes the whole experience better for me. <br /><br />It's ok to tell me I'm crazy. :)Bryce L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13951278240008332023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002257986880313171.post-60628409492119113522010-02-11T01:25:45.464-07:002010-02-11T01:25:45.464-07:00I don't think I ever feel "trapped" ...I don't think I ever feel "trapped" in a series but I do get frustrated by the long waits between books. This doesn't bother so much when each book wraps up the story in the end, but when I'm in the middle of a series and I know that I have to wait three more years, at least, for a resolution- that bothers me. Such was the case with The Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott. I really enjoyed those books but it took 8 yrs for the series to be completed and I never ended up finishing it.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.com
