Yeah, series, i hardly seem to read anything else anymore, the more parts the better. The only thing frustrating me is that Kindle (as in the app) does not warn you there is a new sequel available, yeah it should show up in the adds they send by email, but the times i had to check if it was a new one of a series i am reading is getting quite annoying.
Not to speak about the lack of oversight options, how the heck am i suppost to know what i have read when Amazon keep reshuffling my 'All' list, and shows updated books with a "New" sign [tears hair out].
But that is a bit O.T.
It is the series and following recommendation by email that get me into more new stuff, and i hate to admit i love it.
I just do not get why i am so fixated on one genre, with dead tree books i did a lot of genre hopping, but i get the feeling like i start to read some stuff and the recommend system draws me into a bubble containing nothing else. It seems to satisfy at the moment, not the least because most stuff is a reasonable price. Lots of the better Detective books cost more.
I do try to break out of the vortex by reading an occasional piece of steampunk or some such, but i just drift back to Testosterone Heaven (Military SF) where even the fighting woman have muscles on their muscles ;-)
I am in this for more then two years now, even re-reading Guards Guards! by Terry Pratchett did not do it, it seems i have to work my way trough this i am afraid..
