Well that was around the time that SF/fantasy series really started to get popular. And I've always been put off by a planned series of novels. I don't mind reading one and then maybe reading a sequel later, but to start a book knowing that I'll be left hanging with at least a year until the next one? I just can't do it. And once the series is complete, the sheer mass is daunting. Plus Donaldson had a high page count in each volume, which also made me shy away. Nothing personal against him, just my general tendency.
The last series I read was about five years ago, I reread the first three Dune books and then read books 4-6 for the first time. But that was unusual.
Although I will admit that I just got a cheap copy of Zelazny's first Amber book to reread, and if I like it enough I may read the others (now that they're all in a convenient one volume edition).
