What would you recommend in the EU?

Post by Gandalf »

I've recently decided to start getting SW EU books, as I read Tales of The Bounty Hunters and thought it to be good. Where could you guys recommend starting to read from?

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

All of Zahn's stuff, the Courtship of Princess Leia, X-Wing Novels. The NJO might float your boat, but you also might hate it.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

That's a lot of books but then again, that's less than a fourth that's out there. I didn't start reading EU until about four, five years ago and I had to read them in order. If your just looking for the good ones, there's a start in chronological order. Have fun!
