Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Discussion/Appreciation Anyone..??

[AtlantisRules!!!]

Oh and I'm also interested in reading the Star Wars novels, since I'm a big fan of the (old) movies. But there are a lot of books I don't know where to start. Can you recommend one?

I know a good one.... but you'd have to read a 20 book series, then a 3 book series, then a 9 book series, and then a stand alone for it to make sense

I read this really good stand alone Fantasy book called The Goblin Wood. It's something I would recommend to anyone who is into fantasy

Roughly after that, the license went from Bantam books to Del Rey, and instead of a lot of trilogies and stand-alone books, suddenly we got big series:
The New Jedi Order (uh... 16 or so novels, give or take a few)
Legacy of the Force (9)
and Fate of the Jedi (9; book #1 was released a few weeks ago).

I strongly advise you not to read any of those series yet. They're set far into the future. By then (I'm talking 40-45 years after A New Hope!) there are a *lot* of new and especially younger characters around.

Try 21

You left out the Dark Nest Trilogy between New Jedi Order and the LOTF.

But that was a really good overview. Is the Thrawn Duology the one where Kyp Durron is introduced?

A few Star Wars books that are set before even the prequels are quite good, even though they don't contain the main trio, are the Jedi Apprentice series of books by Jude Watson. They centre on Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, with Obi-Wan as just an apprentice. They were made for teenage readers, but were still quite good.

The Darth Bane's were also good.

I never really had much interest in the SW novels (just in the movies), but now I'm considering reading some of them...there's so many, though

i've only read one SW book, but i think i can recommend it, it is set after ep 6, all the characters are there, but leia and han have kids, it's called "the crystal star"

I just finished reading "The lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch. I highly recommend this book.

[AvatarIII]

i not long ago finished a book called "misspent youth" which is set in the late 2030's rural britian, and is about an aging man who is famous for revolutionising the internet through inventing fast and cheap crystal based memory storage technology (which according to the book should be happening pretty soon), who is gifted with being the first human to be "rejuvinated" (made young again) and how this fact affects his 35 year old ex-model trophy wife, 70-something year old sister, 18 year old son, and society as a whole.

very good book, quite realistic, not too long, totally recommend it.

I haven't gotten to that one yet. Is it good?

There's a series called Pendragon that I really like. It's written at a teenager's reading level but it is realllly good. There are 9 books out so far.

It's hard to get hold them as they are always checked out of the library.
