I do have the OT, Shadows of the Empire,et. I've got so many that it would be tough to list them all. I'm at present trying to get my Star Wars Library reorganized, it was in boxes & stored. I just got some from Amazon.com yesterday (Jedi Quests, Union, Secrets of the Jedi, Jedi Counsel, & Last of the Jedi). In the last yr or so I got behind for family reasons. Now I'm trying to play catch up. I read mostly the pro Jedi books or the stories that deal with Yoda, & the Skywalker family. My library is mostly paper back, with a few exceptions.

i just started with reading SW books so I only have The first three in the new jedi order series: Vector Prime, Dark Tide I:Onslaught, and im currently reading Dark Tide II: Ruin. I dont know if its the best place to start reading but I am really enjoying them and cronological order ist real important in the SW universe.

Mostly I'm only sure that I'm keeping the young Jedi books, Jedi Apprentice, Jedi Quest, etc. There are miscellaneous EU ones scattered in with the other books that I may or may not keep the next time I get rid of things. But the young Jedi books are the ones that I've made a special place for, so I know where they are -- next to the Harry Potter books. And I'm keeping the non-fiction SW art and movie books, but they're not novels.
Hmmmm, I need to sort though my books....

Geez....
I used to have something like the first 15 or so of the EU books (thrawn, jedi academy, solo,etc.) but I donated them to the local library last year for others to read as well.
I stil have (locked up in a trunk somewhere) the original 3 from the first release of the movies as well as the the Solo trilogy (star's end. etc.) and Splinter of the mind's eye.
I either donate or give away a dozen to 20 books a year most years. I just can't keep them all since I have to have room for the wife and kids too......
why not set up either a forum loan board for the sharing of books... or one for the selling of them as many are now not always easy to find.

That's a nice idea, Tenric! I think something like that might work as a book swap rather than a book loan. Getting stuff is one thing, returning stuff is another!

Err, not to put a dampener on things, but wot bout us British and European people? A separate thread for us? Cos it'll b kind of expensive 2 keep sendin stuff over the pond. But other than that, it sounds good! Though im a bit wary lendin out the compendium... It aint a fiction book, per se, its like a huge makin of book of the OT. Though it has got comparison charts and the like.
