You're right, of course. I'm more than likely going to do my own research into a book's stand-alone nature. But not all authors are as forthcoming as I'd like them to be concerning their intent. So I sometimes wish that the rest of the world would help me to reduce my workload a bit.
Primarily by understanding that even the most tenuous of connections might be relevant to some of us when considering the order in which we might choose to tackle an author's repertoire. Or when considering if we want to tackle it
right now (or at all).
