Oh I don't read it anymore.
I grew weary of the same themes a long time ago. I liked the Word/Void books because they were different, but then he retro-fitted all that into the Shannara universe/mythos and I lost interest again. I just love the memories I have of loving those books. But my tastes have changed over the years and I'm frankly not into mega-volume/multi-generational fantasy series anymore.
If he wrote something completely unrelated to his two primary universes (and stand-alone), I'd certainly give it a shot. But I'd always be a bit paranoid he was going to try and tie it all together at some later date.

Brooks hasn't connected anything between the Word and Void and Shannara; it's only implied.

No. It's not only implied. The connection is quite concrete. It was cemented in the Genesis of Shannara series (and in interviews and AMAs).
