The Star Wars: New Jedi Order books are good. They are based about 20 years after the movies. Vector Prime is the first in the series.

The problem I had with what happened is that I collected the Star Wars Fact File so I knew what was going to happen. As soon as I read that he was on that planet, I was just waiting for it.

Blue i recommend books by sarcastic English writer Mil Millington. people with senses of humour like us will love his books :D

look him up

I will certainly look him up, sir.

I've been reading some Pratchet recently - that is some funny shit. I'm sticking to the re-releases of his early books, cause they look purdy - also, cause despite all the rave reviews, I can't trust the quality of his later stuff; that guy is prolific, I have trouble believing someone can churn em out so quickly and still maintain the quality.


NNF - hope you've also read the follow-up series; Galactic Milieu series. If not, you must - I won't spoil it, but it should be regarded as part of the exile series.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Probably one of the first was the Hobbit. After that I got heavily into the Dragonlance series, and also got onto the Forgotten Realms books.

The hobbit got me hooked on that genre, and Sci fi and Fantasy are all I read now.

well i agree that jurassic park kicks ass, and was one of my favorite books growing up, and caused me to read a bunch of other michael chrichton books, such as sphere (which also kicked the living shit out of the movie), airframe, the andromeda strain, the lost world, and a bunch of others. keep in mind i was in 5th grade when i was reading these :P by the time i was in 6th grade i discovered the rogue squadron series by michael stackpole, and read everysingle one, then the author switched to aaron allston, but i continued to read them, although they werent quite the same.
But my favorite novel ever, and i think ive read it about 4 times now all the way through, i discovered in 7th grade, and still stand as my all time fav.
Enders Game by Orson Scott Card, enders shadow is also amazing, as well as shadow of the hedgemon. speaker for the dead and xenocide really werent quite as great, and took a lot of patience to get through, but were worth it in the end. id also recomend the Seventh Sun series by orson card.
