The problem with EU books is once you get one you don't want to stop.

And the problem becomes a nightmare when you start forcing yourself to read as much of the EU material as possible just to create a definitive personal canon.

And the nightmare becomes a night terror when you realize that, though you liked the first stuff you read, everything you're currently reading sucks. Now you have to decide how far back to wind the odometer so that you can establish your 'personal canon' with only stuff that you "liked" or that was "at least mostly good".

The same thing happened to X-Men comics in the 90s.
