Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is a hefty book. There are sequels, but the first book stands alone very well. It's a time-travel novel with a lot of adventure and some romance as well. The STARZ network in the US just started broadcasting an adaptation of the novel. So far, the episodes have stayed pretty close to the book. We'll see how this plays out over the long haul.
I *am* a series reader just like I enjoy TV series. When I have invested time and emotion in a set of characters, and I wind up liking them, I want to read more about them. Series let me do that.
