In a way I agree, but for me some of it has happened after the arrival of ebooks (I love ebooks BTW).
Suddenly I could, and did, read an entire series. Prior to that the books were read as I found them.
Reading five or six books in a week by the same author often results in me being a bit dissapointed by the fifth or sixth, never mind number twenty seven.
Of course I am probably in the minority as I often see people mentioning rereading an entire series for the third time.
Oddly enough this happened to me years ago with Christie when someone gave me a box of books with most of her books. When I stumbled on Christie books by accident I was thrilled, but reading too many in a row put me off for quite a while.
It is not just the characters, reading too many books by the same author, unless widely spaced out,and I am thinking same old, even if the characters are totally different the thought patterns and speech patterns are often too much the same.
