I buy as I get to each book in the series.

Except for Discworld. If I'm reading a series that's 40 books long and I've enjoyed 10 of them, I'll buy them up quickly to make sure they all match on my shelves. Usually when there's a big sale.

I tend to prefer ebooks now though. Cheap/free and doesn't require effort to move. If I LOVE a series I might purchase the print copies after (did this with The Witcher).

I like short stories for planes.

Recently I read All the Names They Used for God (don't let the title put you off) and it was phenomenal. Ted Chiang is also good for short stories, even if some of them are tedious.

Other than short stories, I also like short novels in general for planes. It's nice to be able to actually finish something. Maybe short classics like The Picture of Dorian Gray or Tarzan.

Or just read whatever you're reading while on your trip.

I think someone mentioned on here that the people who like them must have skipped their fanfic phase back when they were teens, and liking crappy writing like Colleen Hoover's is the result. I thought it was funny but there might be some merit to it in that I believe her fans haven't read too much else beforehand.

As in, let's go easy on them. We've all been there.

Fair enough. I will have to watch the movie!

Did you ever watch the mini series? It had Keira Knightley and Sam Neil in it. I really liked it.

I've got maybe 600 and it's mostly adult fantasy and historical fiction.

I used to have over 1000 but I've been slowly getting rid of them in chunks of 50 at a time over the last few years (books I bought 10-15 years ago and never read or old YA I feel I've outgrown). I used to think I had to keep every book even if I hated it. I clean out the shelves every other year or so.

That change was very disappointing. I know the book is often misunderstood, but that was a disturbing take on the filmmaker's part.
