Shim, this is the right place for it, he mentioned a lot more than SW books (though I suppose he could remove "Star wars" from the thread title). Whoa, I didn't even know Zahn had another book out since Outbound Flight. Sounds interesting. His later stuff isn't as good as his first books though.

I am definitely looking forward to The History of the Hobbit. Though I am not so sure about Children of Hurin. Just because Christopher Tolkien bears the last name of Tolkien doesn't mean he is his father, who was an irreplaceable loss to the literary world. With that said, I think it will be interesting to see what Christopher does with the work. Perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised. but Definitely looking forward to History of the Hobbit, I just wish it was one volume for my pocketbook's sake.
