Need some opinions...please
Ok, so everyones knows, I havent read that many EU books, mainly cause I dont know where to start but here's what I got:
The Approaching storm
X wing: Solo Command
NJO - Edge of Victory 1 - Conquest
Tales from the New Republic
NJO - Agents of Chaos 1 - Hero's trial
NJO - Vector Prime
and last but not least..
I, Jedi
Which of these are good, bad and where should i start? Or should i go buy a new book?
X-Wing Solo Command wasn't all that great IMO. I'd recomend you start with the first X-Wing books, Rouge Squadron, Wedges Gamble, Kroytos trap and Bacta War. The NJO books are good too and you may want to start with Vector prime and do the series from there.
Well what's the first NJO book with Luke and all? I am not sure, but you should start with that? However, since you might know all the spoilers in all the books, maybe you should go to LOTF

My first novel was Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse - not a great place to start then my second was Splinter of the Minds Eye, but reading everything ass-backwards was great fun because i was reunited with characters that died years ago

alright cool. I was looking for the first after ROTJ so i could go in order, but is there a site i can go to to find the actual order of certain series? ie the NJO, LoTF etc...but thanks so far...i really wanna read Shatterpoint and that Bane book..but dont want to be lost, ya know...
look up the info under the pic, and it tells you what novel precedes or follows 'Path of Destruction' which i found pretty useful But this also includes the Scholastic range of novels too
Guess i got bored of KMC - it hasnt changed too much, yet i cant forget the old days and all the pre-ROTS hype and all you guys couldnt leave forever now could i and you?
I've been reading Approaching Storm for 2 months now and it's a load of s**t! it's one of the worst ones... so glad Alan Dean Foster only wrote two SW books - that i know of at any rate... - anyway, i'd say either starts with LotF is u pretty much know wots going on or NJO... apart from the Thrawn tril and and Academy tril there's not a lot of decent stuff in the bantam press era

ok, tomorrow after work i plan on getting a book, but im torn between Shatterpoint, LOE and ROTS Novel...which one do you all recommend the most? If you all HAD to choose...i dont want to pick the wrong one, not wrong one, but the least great one, lol..
Darksaber. It's good as a standalone because there's tons of action and you don't need to be drawn into a 3 or 9 book series after reading it.
If you're planning on a trilogy or any other series longer than one book you definitely need to start with Heir to the Empire and the two that follow it. For me, it's a no-brainer...
Unless you're like 15, then you'll probably like all the NJO crap. I mean stuff.

wow, didn't know you could do that. I've been trying to get it off like limewire, but to no avail.
and no DS, lol, i haven't been 15 for almost 12 years now. I just heard people praise Shatterpoint, and LOE, and I've read a few pages of the ROTS novel and liked the extra detail, so i was curious...
