What is your approach to series?

[fool-ish]

I have a very vivid imagination and one of my favorite things about reading is being transported to another world. Once I'm in the world... I don't want to leave it; even when the story is finished I don't want to leave it. This is why I always give myself about a month between big series so I have some time to soak it in.

A friend of mine did his psychology thesis on people who are "transported" while reading, as you describe. Apparently some people experience this much more intensely than others. Not sure what the technical term is, but I am certainly one of those people.

What a great feeling to find an author/book/series that does that to you. The series that paricularly did that for me: RH (mostly the Farseer and Fool triologies, not the others), Harry Potter, LOTR, His Dark Materials, Patrick Rothfuss and GRRM/ASoIaF.

All of those except LOTR! I couldn't finish it, though I do intend to try again one day

I'm of the transportable type and there are times that I've been very grateful for it..escapism at it's best! I too have to see a series through to the end (if I like it, that is) I can't bumble about between different stories/series. One world at a time and usually I'm well and truly sucked in!

That won't work on me, beings. Much like with Malta or Reyn. Or even Thymara. I have zero urge to agree with you.

Ha! Glamour fail!!
