I tried that with Stephen King, Graham Masterton and a few others. I failed.
It's often easier to read a series, but then only in order. For example, I don't know if JK Rowling has written anything other than Harry Potter. I know that one of my fav authors Terry Goodkind has only written one series, (consisting of 11 books and one prequel). He plans to continue writing, but within a different genre. I probably won't read his stuff again if say for example he starts writing within a Western theme, or a book on how to go Trout-fishing. It doesn't appeal to me.
The same way I have no strong urge to read about the Courteneys, although I haven't altogether decided against it.
