- Finished Reading: New York Dead (Stone Barrington, #1) by Stuart Woods ( )

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he's on the front page of every New York newspaper, and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman. No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.

Here’s an experiencial example of why Goodreads sucks. At least from the app, I couldn’t find standalone copies of either The Firm or A Time To Kill, just this boxed set and a few other boxed sets. Don’t get me wrong. Boxed sets are great, but it wasn’t what I was looking for. But I suppose I’m reading The Firm after A Time To Kill. The Firm is a book I really like, but I don’t think I appreciate a service like Goodreads, which theoretically has access to and control of the largest book database in the world and which we are all to one extent or another beholdent to, forcing the issue of my next read.

I’ve heard a lot about the Dark Tower series but this is the first time I’m reading it.This is only the first book so I haven’t yet decided whether it’s good fantasy or not. It’s not the worst fantasy I’ve read though so depending on how the rest of the series go it might get added to the rereads pile.
