So do you not just blast through the series? Very interesting.
I'm on whatever book six is of the expanse, and probably gonna call it there. I won't take up ASoIaF due to its incomplete nature. I am a start-to-finish reader, whether it's just a few books or Realm of the Elderlings.
It's kinda like TV shows, I've had a few that I start while they're still airing, and when the next season comes out I find myself completely lost. Gotta stay fresh.
Hmm, no, I have been alternating a bit between different series and different books. I'm not really a "binger" anymore, I kinda prefer to let books "settle" a bit before I go on to the next one I think. I might continue with the 3rd right after, or there is something else I'd rather read first, who knows. It is only a matter of what I feel like reading then and there.
With TV shows I am a big fan of the weekly episodes that many people seem to despise. I love the anticipation and community discussions in the weeks between episodes.
I get not wanting to start ASoIaF, I probably wouldn't too considering I doubt he will ever finish it, although I think the publisher will probably get someone else to finish it at some point. For me it was kinda a nostalgia thing, as I read them way back and was curious how they would hold up now.
