On another note, having a series that must be read sequentially basically meant it had to be a very long book published in sections. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew; Jeeves; Nero Wolfe all came to mind as series. However none of them qualified under the usage that they had to be read sequentially. To me it basically was a 2nd sci fi category because of that. For those who think that the Foundation series was a bit early should remember, that when the Hugo awards looked at the best series of books ever, it was Foundation series that won not Lord of the Rings or Dune. I also thing Dune is a great series as well.

Yes. This is the categorization I am most unhappy about. I wish I did not put the qualifier of "read in sequence".
