| ______________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 12:17pm - ouchdrummer ""] I am reading "Invincible" which is the ninth book in a nine book series in the star wars world. The series is called "legacy of the force" and it takes place when Luke Skywalkers son Ben is about 13-15years old, and Han Solo, and Leia Organa Solo's kids are both jedi. I just finished a 14 book star wars series called "the new jedi order" which is right before the current series in the timeline. |

Are those any good(maybe a stupid question since you just read 23 of them)? I tried reading some of the books, but with the exception of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy, I couldn't get into them. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 5:39pm - ouchdrummer ""] the legacy of the force series is good, not great. the last one that i am reading now is fantastic. (invincible) The series is written by 3 authors, aaron allston, then a girl who i forget, then troy denning, and that order repeats two more times. If you can get through the books that she writes, the other 6 are great. The new new jedi order series is good from start to finish, and it's written by about 10 different authors, so the writting styles don't get too boring.... I read what most of you would call "smarter" books too, i read the entire (up to where it left off) Wheel of time series, and loved it, i read a lot of books, i just really like star wars. |

| _________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 11:24am - cless ""] That's funny,I'm reading Shadows of the Empire now,and I just ordered the Dark Lord trilogy,and the the Darth Bane series. Also reading,Neuromancer and Good Omens,after all of those I was thinking about Rendezvous with Rama |
| ________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 11:35am - moran ""] I didn't like the Darth Bane book. It seems really juvenile. After I finish those Martin books, and then finally read Children of Dune, I'm gonna move to Shadows of the Empire. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 11:59am - ouchdrummer ""] I read those George Martin books. They are fucking awesome. The last one... i think it was a feast of crows... or something like that... anyways, it wasn't out when i read the other ones, did you read that one yet? Is it as good as the earlier ones? |
| ________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:04pm - moran ""] Its sitting at my house, waiting to be read. From what I read about it, its just as good as the others. I'm finishing up Clash of Swords now. There's going to be three more books too. I hope he doesn't die before he finishes them. I was a little hesitant in starting to read them, being that they are very long books, but I'm so glad I did. Lots of musical inspiration in there. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:09pm - ouchdrummer ""] Ya, that's books are really good. I think i might have to re-read them. It's been probably 8 years since i read them. |

After I finish those Martin books, and then finally read Children of Dune, I'm gonna move to Shadows of the Empire. i haven't read the bane book yet. i heard good things....but i guess it depends on taste. i also read a pretty decent book on Darth Maul....but i read it a few years back and forgot the fuckin title! |
| ________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:36pm - moran ""] Its not bad, just very simple. I think I just expected more. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:38pm - ouchdrummer ""] Moran- You haven't read any of the new jedi order, or the legacy of the force series yet? They really are worth reading. How about the Wheel of time series. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:45pm - moran ""] None of those. I'll have to check those out next. NJO is the really long series right? About Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:46pm - ouchdrummer ""] yeah, its great. The occupation of Borealis is wonderful, and Jaina/Jacen Solo are badass as hell. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 12:49pm - moran ""] Nice. I wish I didn't already spend my Barnes & Noble gift card. I'll look into those. But, I'm out of here, work just let us out for the weekend. |
