I suggest if you're gonna read a ton start with old republic comics as zamorak said Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith, the Sith War, the Freedon Nadd Uprising, then move on to pre OT Han solo and Lando trilogies (The Adventures of Han Solo) if you want to see a huge list of all the books in chrono order PM me. If you'r not gonna read a ton read the thrawn trilogy and the hand of thrawn duology or NJO books.
If you don't mind AmrothSkywalker, could you pm that to me also? or send it by email? I already have the Thrawn trilogy (which is great), and the golden age of the sith/fall of the sith empire (all TPB) but I'm also interested in the stories before that like Jedi vs sith and Quinlan vos, Exar kun or NJO when Luke turns to the dark side, etc etc
cheers
I strongly suggest you decide what you're interested in. If you want post-ROTJ books, be prepared for a whole host of fanfic-like BS. If you want something with more substance, that builds on the movies themselves, try from this list:
- The Approaching Storm
- Cloak of Deception
- Medstar (Both books)
- Shatterpoint
- Dark Rendezvouz
- Labyrinth of Evil
- Jedi Trial (Kinda sorta...)
- and any other Clone wars novels.
