Actually, after the first three books (and a later prequel), the vast majority of Shannara's stuff is one story-arc spread over three or four installments (the last sub-series was only two books). So... except for the three original books (and a prequel), Shannara books are most definitely NOT a "story unto themselves."
But anyway... I prefer a series of one these days, but I'll occasionally read a duology/trilogy. But a massive series with many, many installments and even sub-series within it?? Just ain't happenin' for this reader anymore.
