Stuart Woods
 |  |  | ||
We all have our weaknesses, okay. Mine happens to be the "I want to read but I want to watch TV too." Fortunately, there are authors like Stuart Woods who make books into those of Penny and her sidekick Brain. The book that moves; the book that is a movie. The Primer--like in Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (everybody go buy it now).
Stuart Woods has a character in all these books named Stone Barrington. Barrington isn't all that intelligent. He isn't all that rich. He isn't even all that suave or fancy. In fact, he's dry. I can't find a true personality in there. But he's in all these books. He's a cop cum lawyer cum PI. And he has a lot of sex. With a lot of women. And happens to end up with a lot of money after a lot of action after a lot of not-so-much-is-going-on-with-the-case. The books end with a "well, there's that. Guess we'll just get the next one."
One thing that is on Stuart Woods' side? You can read this book during commercials and be guaranteed that something always happens.
