It depends on the type of series. I've read several lite fiction romance type series, and I do tend to read through the whole series. But these are usually 200-230 page very easy reads. I like reading them all through because they are usually written with cross-over characters and circumstances, but are finished books by themselves.
But novel series, like The Good Earth 3 book series is too much to read straight through. And they can be read as stand-a-lone books.
I admit to not reading much "fantasy" like LOTR. I've not read it, not for lack of trying.
