I can dive right into the middle of a book series if the series' story doesn't run chronologically.
That is to say, if each novel in a series is a stand-alone story (like Lee Child's Reacher novels) then I don't feel the need to start with book one.
On the other hand, a series of books (like Richard Hatch's Battlestar Galactica novels) can't be read out of sequence since each new book builds upon the story of the previous entry in the series.
Hahaha, well at least you admit that you don't always stick to the code. I read a book if it sounds interesting, even if its the middle or last book in a series.
Thanks for stopping by :-) I only start with the first book in a series if it is a short series. If it ends up being a long series of books like Jon Sanford's Prey books, Alex Cross, etc. I usually get bored with them so I just read the ones that look interesting.

"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"
