What will make you want to read EU? There are lots of books and comics out thers. It just depends on what you like. For example, the Young Jedi Knights is a children's series that follows the Solo twins. I, Jedi is about Corran Horn. The NJO combines lots of different characters. Even Lando has a trilogy.
Always like helping people out with the EU. Well if you're looking for follow up to ROTJ Truce at Bakura is a good book to start, it takes place right after Luke has buried his father and is recovering from the Emperors attack. Luke's first test as a Jedi after ROTJ and the threat was pretty deadly.
Then you have:
I Jedi
The Courtship of Princess Leia (don't let the name fool you it stars the main caste with Luke mostly doing the adventuring)
Thrawn Trilogy
Then the NJO which had some decent books like Traitor
After that you're better off focusing on Vader stuff from the comics or prequel stuff or the Kotor comics.
The Legacy comics aren't bad and the SW: Dark Times comics are the best thing going in the EU outside of some Kotor issues and a couple of Legacy comic issues.

I read the very last book of the NJO series and I have to say i understand alot of what happened through that book but it seems okay
KOTOR intrests me more i love Revan and the Jedi Civil War

Nope the closest thing to Kotor that is out right now is the two-soon to be three Darth Bane books. However around the time the new mmo, "Star Wars The Old Republic" comes out a novel will be made about that time which means three hundred years past sine kotor. So I bet Revan and the Exile at the very least will get more then a fair a share amount of references. (that could change once we know more info of the game)
You could go and read the Dark Next trilogy and the Legacy of the Force series which happen after the NJO series and they have about the same rep. among fans as the NJO series has a whole.
The best books though, are featured in the Clone Wars/Revenge of the Sith Era. They are Shatterpoint, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, The Cestus Deception,Labyrinth of Evil,the Revenge of the Sith novel and Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader.

lol like in KOTOR when u could double cross both yuthura and uthar..
and yeah there is alot of EU to explore. but I hate what the tOR people did to the old republic. I wanted a KOTOR 3 but NO.. they just had to make it an MMO or MMORPG where ppl have to pay like 30$ a month or something.
well there might still be a KotOR 3 because tOR is 300 yrs after the KotOR series.

R, but I have to agree that Shatterpoint, LoE, and Rise of Vader are epic books.
