Well, finished Remnant a couple of days ago. Very good, looking forward to seing how the series turns out. Can't wait for the Chiss to get properly involved in the story line.
Well over 100 books eh? Well, i'm not including the kids books, the compilations (Han solo adventures, Land adventures etc). I don't have the Han Solo trilogy but i have read it and didn't really like it. I have some reference books too. i think i have all the "essential guides". (weapons and technolgy, planets and moon, aliens species, characters, NEW characters, chronology). They are quite good and i reccomend them to anyone. |

I finished heretic after a week of reading, which also included school  BAH! Remnant was terrific and well worth the 7 bucks, now i can't wait til may for the next NJO book. Sadly though there are only 4 books left in the series *tear*

Well I only read one YJK book and had enough background about characters to have an idea what was going on.

yeah... see i wasnt including those becasue they dont rate as "true literature" too me. but your right the kids books are so much worse that it really isnt funny. however there is one advantage to reading them. it gives some nice backround for reading NJO. |

theforce.net has a pretty complete list of the star wars novels, and includes reviews for all of them I think. And children of the Jedi and Planet of Twighlight are works of art compared to the series of childrens books that include mission to mount yoda. I suggest going to theforce.net review of the young readers books and look at those. ::shudder:: _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Hehe I'll think you're right... *sigh* my heretic should arrive in 2 days, I can't wait it. The NJO should carry on for another 3 books after heretic me thinks. Sadly, i really enjoyed the whole plot. Although some chars i liked, well 'passed' out . And no i won't tell you who. _______________ Falling from heaven is not as painfull, as surviving the impact. |

Heretic is interesting, No chapters. I read it in less than 2 days. Good book _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill. Those who seek power and control of others, no matter the level, no matter the intentions, should never be given it. |

I own all the books except for a few - Han Solo trilogy (read it, boring), han solo adventures and Lando Calrisian adventures. I am going out to buy the new NJO book "Heretic" in the next few days. |

i have read many of the same books everyone has mentioned. although i have started only recently long distance relationships and school can leave time to read a lot. waiting for destinys way to come out on paperback so im reading jedi academy series and next x-wing series.  _______________ "If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice." |

No they weren't, and i found the rather poor too. If you enjoyed the X-wing game, u should read the X-Wing Rogue Squadron serie, followed by Wraith Squadron and I, Jedi. In the 'old universe' I'd like the Timothy Zahn saga and the book I, Jedi best. In the NJO I have no real favorite now, I think they are all pretty good. _______________ Falling from heaven is not as painfull, as surviving the impact. |

I've read all but the joung/juniour Jedi Knights, and the latest NJO. (Although it's ordered and I'll get it as soon as it's finished.) BTW what do those who read it think of the "traitor" NJO-book. I think it was pretty cool with those new insights of the force. _______________ Falling from heaven is not as painfull, as surviving the impact. |
