I want a lot more good standalone fantasy books. If I could find them, I'd buy them.But because 90%* of everything I find on the shelf these days is book 12 of 274, I don't buy. I've bought fewer fantasy novels in the past five years then I did during some single years in high school or college, because I refuse to buy a fantasy novel unless it:A) Stands alone (or at least stands somewhat alone, such as most of Brust's "Taltos" books), or...B) The series of which it is a part is fully complete and published.Sometimes, I'm not in the mood for a 2,000 word opus. Sometimes I just want to read a book.(* This number is an estimate based on my own experience. I don't pretend to have any factual data to back it up.)</blockquote>
