So I was wondering when the next Shopaholic book will come out and I said to myself I hate waiting for the next book in a series to come out. Which got me thinking. . . do you prefer to read a series (like HP or The Wheel of Time), a Trilogy (Like LOTR), or a Single shot book (Like The Redeption of Althalus)?

Personally, I think I prefer a trilogy best. Long enough to get a lot done, and if done correctly excellent character development and story telling. But some series' I like too, like the Riftwar Saga, Incarnations of Immotality, and HP. But some series turned me off, specifically the Wheel of Time, and The Bellgariad. The Redeption of Althalus was a nice long book, and was/is a single shot deal. Perhaps that one could be a trilogy. . .

Anyways, what do you prefer to read?

Hmmm...I'd prefer the serises. Cause if the first one is really good, I'd get stuck to it and want to read more.
