I recently picked up "Healer" on ebay. Should I want to get the other two and read them in sequence?
I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.
I drink to make other people interesting.

I read "Healer" first and the others a year or more later and I enjoyed them all. I think you can pretty much read them as you want, because, most likely, you'll wind up reading them again as so many of us do with FPW's works.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.
A Maggers Haiku, 2005
Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

They are each individual stories, but they have some links and background that carries over between each. For example, you might understand better the political state that the universe is in due to the plot of AEOTS, but that plot isn't integral to the plot of the other two.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
