answer:I tend to speed up if I can. Sticking with the Netflix example: the last time I watched a show online, I found out about 75% of the way through that the whole series wasn’t actually available yet and that the last few episodes were being put up at a rate of one a week. Once I caught up, I was watching each one almost as soon as it was uploaded and wished they would be uploaded sooner (the whole thing had already been broadcast in another country). I do the same with books. I might read the first few in a series in a leisurely way and then read the last few in a flurry of reading. Maybe it’s just because things tend to get rather fast paced near the end, which makes me eager to get through it all. Early installations tend to wrap up most of the loose ends (while leaving a few sequel hooks, of course), whereas later installations tend to leave things open as a way of driving towards the finale.
