I've read the Thrawn Trilogy and Shadow of The Empire.....and that's about it.

From what I keep hearing about the rest of the EU, I think that's about all I'm gonna read.

I've read most EU books. Of course, with the exception of maybe a few books, NJO sucks shit.

The Glove of Vader Rocks.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Star by Star and Destiny's Way are the only two I really liked. The others, bleh.

Thanks, Wraith. I'm rather a connessieur of SW literature. I even read the "Glove of Darth Vader" books, so I'd know what was in them.

Fortunately, I didn't have to pay money for them.

I've read most of the pre-NJO novels. I read "Mission from Mount Yoda" and I think it's great. It's much funnier than anything Allston wrote.

My favorite EU books would have to be the HTTE trilogy and the Hand Of Thrawn duology.

Although this is followed in a very close second by Brian Daley's Han Solo trilogy.

He captured Han's character PERFECTLY and IMHO the only other EU author to do this was Troy Denning in Tatooine Ghost.

I've read everything post-ROTJ. Currently reading NJO.

Going to grab Shatterpoint, though mostly I've not been into Prequel stuff.

You sure about that being Zahn? I know Stackpole did pose as Corran.
I see what you mean. I basically buy anything with the Star Wars name on it. Heck, I'd even buy Amidala tampons if they made the things. :oops:

Incidentally, Starfighters of Adumar is told entirely from Wedge's perspective.
