Onesome- Beginnings: Are there any television shows out there that you've watched regularly from the very beginning? Or for those of you not into TV, any book authors that you've read from the very beginning? Not really, except maybe for CSI.
Twosome- Middles: What about shows that you came into in the middle of the season but immediately grabbed your attention and turned you into a die-hard fan? Again, for non-TV fans, have you ever begun reading a series of books in the middle and then just had to read everything else in the series? I'm not sure. I weave in and out of TV shows.
Threesome- And Ends: Recently, a number of big name shows have ended, Friends, Fraiser, The Drew Carey Show, and the cult hit, Angel. Did you watch any of the big finales? Have you ever been really sad to see a show go? Ok, readers, here's one for you. Have you ever read the end of a book first? Why? ;) I watched the Fraiser one but I didn't get the end. Was he going to Chicago for the girl? That's all I could take it for. I still have Friends on tape waiting for me.

Onesome: I watched Star Trek: TNG from the very beginning until the very end. Only tv show that's done that. I don't recall starting a new series with an author before they were established, but there are several I've read through.
Twosome: Started Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider series in the middle and now have read them repeatedly. I also started Pratchett's Discworld series in thd middle and I'm working through them. Carolyn G. Hart's Death on Demand series is the same way...and on and on and on.
Threesome: Yes, I've read the end first. Not often and never for mysteries, but sometimes for general fiction. Especially if there is a romantic element, as I just have to see if they get together or I have to see if someone lives. I don't do this much anymore, but I used to do so about every 10-20 books.
