Good Reads

I'd like to expand my somewhat limited knowledge on the EU so that I can debate in threads like a pro just as Quanchi and Carthage do.

What novels can you recommend?

Anyone who doesn't suggest Dark Rendezvous is wrong. And they should feel bad for being wrong.

In all seriousness, I recommend you going with the following order:

- Tales of the Jedi comics.
- SWTOR: Revan novel.
- SWTOR: Deceived novel.
- The Darth Bane trilogy.
- The Darth Plagueis novel.
- The Shatterpoint novel.
- The Dark Rendezvous novel.
- The Dark Lord trilogy.

And then that will take you up to the OT.

After that, there's mainly multi-book sagas, not standalones.

OT Trilogy.
Prequel Trilogy.
Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader.
Deceived.
Darth Plagueis.

The above suggestions are also good reads.

Revenge of the Sith is probably one of the best if not THE best SW novel.

Read the Dark Lord trilogy before anything else, honestly.

In case you don't know what that is:

-Laybrinth of Evil
-Revenge of the Sith
-Rise of Darth Vader

For some fun I recommend the Dark Forces Trilogy.

- Soldier for the Empire.

- Rebel Agent.

- Jedi Knight

The Jaden Korr duology as well

- Crosscurrent

- Riptide

The Jedi Academy series Is worth it just for Daala's antics.(it does possess cringe worthy moments, such as Han and Kyp snowboarding)

A lot of the books suggested here aren't good reads tbh. DMB, most of yours are honestly God-awful.

Aurb's right: YDR is the best. Shatterpoint, Cloak of Deception, The Unifying Force, ROTS, and Traitor are all excellent. Shadow Hunter, Death Star, the Med-Star duology, Labyrinth of Evil, Star By Star, Destiny's Way, and Dark Lord are all good.

The rest range from mediocre (Plaguies) to shitty: Bane trilogy, Force Unleashed, FOTJ, LOTF, etc.

I just finished Lords of the Sith. I think Vader and Palpatine have some BDSM sexual relationship going on, it's offputting.
