I'm supposed to start reading the New Jedi Order books, but don't know if I can start another EU relationship again after the disastrous K J Anderson books of the 90s. I wish I could read these things, but it causes me real emotional turmoil. I thought the novelization of ROTS was so boring it took me the better part of a year to read it. That's right, I finished it last week, and I purchased it when it came out in April. I blame it on the boring characters of the prequels. I think the author did the best he could considering the material.
I remember thinking Splinter of the Mind's Eye was fun to read back in the early 90s. Hearing some of the reactions to it here make me actually think about digging it out to read again.
