Oh I definitely plan on reading that. Those are sort of the quintessential EU books. I'd be crazy not to check them out.
But not yet. My journey through the EU needs some sort of rhyme and reason, and since (some of) the makers of the old EU loved continuity, I've decided to see how well everything works chronologically. So I've got a list of books I'll be reading. I'll probably get to the Thrawn trilogy in a few months, maybe even sooner.
