Why I don't read book series.

So, why don't I read book series?
Because I'm getting older.


Well let's be more precise. Why I (rarely) buy and read unfinished series?
Because 1) I am a very impatient person. 2) I will eventually forget what happened (I'm talking about the details) in the previous instalment so when a new book comes out I'll have to read the whole series once again, if this is not the final book I might read the whole series one more time. I read "Eragon" 3 times, one on its own, one with "Eldest", one with "Brisingr" and one last time with "Inheritance" (when I start it)
So, I will wait for the series' cycle to close and then read the series.



Exceptions to this rule are:
•Harry Potter
•A Song of Ice and Fire (If I waited for George R.R. Martin to complete the series and then read the books I would be an old withered man)
•The Passage by Justin Cronin (I've only read the 1st book. Don't remember many things. It was a depressing read though and I didn't know it was a series in the first place),and
•Inheritance Cycle (Eragon) by Christopher Paolini (I remember absolutely nothing from the 3rd book Brisingr).
So, (unfinished) book series like:
• Cormoran Strike by Robert Galbraith,
•Bill Hodges Trilogy(?) by Stephen King,
•The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss and others won't be on my TBR list until their completely finished!
