It's true there are lots of series out there that don't demand you read all of them, like mysteries. I'm loving the Sherlock Holmes stories right now and you can just pick up any of those in any order (I think). Others like Harry Potter or His Dark Materials have to be read entirely and in order. I think my frustration with series at the moment is that I'm reading the more frivolous ones and they don't live up to expectations (at some point series just become a way to sell more books).

I think of mysteries also when I think about series (am reading a Kate Atkinson Jackson Brodie novel right now = love)- in all genres, they often make nice comfort reads. You have mentioned some great ones here (and some on my to-read list!). Interesting to consider their differences.bookspersonallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776600422633283514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-30358325989078262672011-12-28T17:28:14.099+00:002011-12-28T17:28:14.099+00:00I would imagine it's much easier to think of e...I would imagine it's much easier to think of example of series in the world of fantasy, as most fantasy novels tend to come in series, or trilogies, or multiple parts. Not that ALL do, but it's hard to find a really awesome standalone fantasy novel. Brandon Sanderson has a few, I suppose... but I digress.<br /><br />I think you're right to separate series books out into types, because not all series are created equal. Or created the same. I like your categorization!Kerry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624436758426097032noreply@blogger.com
