I try to limit myself to one book ahead in series. It's hard to stick to that when there are bundles and omnibuses, but it does mean I'm only one book down if the series jumps the shark. And also that I don't sink a lot of money into something I might not read for years.

Not at all like Discworld. Discworld is a true series with charters that evolve as series goes on.
