Worse, I feel compelled to read a series back to back, and often feel like I really should be reading something different rather than sticking with the same author and subject for so darn long.
That said, I can often give up a series if they're well enough isolated... for example, I loved the Foundation trilogy, but there's no way that I'll read EVERY SINGLE Foundation book, especially those not written by Asimov himself. I was happy to stop with the three
originals.
Science fiction series' in particular seem to go on forever. Another series that I've been stuck with, though do enjoy, is Bova's Grand Tour novels. I finally just had to say "ENOUGH!" and start reading other authors!
