There are series I quit after reading the first book, mostly when I don't like the writing style (e.g. James Patterson). If I think the first book is just okay I might get the next one or two books in the series before I decide. There are a few series I stopped reading when it felt more like a chore to read them than something enjoyable. This includes the Kay Scarpetta series and the Vampire Chronicles. But also the Anita Black series, the first 4 or 5 books or so were entertaining but then it started going downhill for me with all the (unnecessary IMHO) sex.
