There are too many well-known good books to read to bother reading through the mess of the EU and nuEU just to enjoy the occasional good one (not that they're mostly bad, just mostly mediocre).

Indeed. Looking back on all the lame/crappy SW novels and comics I've read lately, I find myself scratching my head as to why I've been pushing Ray Bradbury, C. S. Lewis, Isaac Asimov, and Richard Matheson -- authors whose works I'm very interested in reading -- aside for uninspired tripe like that.

After I read The Han Solo Trilogy, The Lando Calrissian Adventures, and Timothy Zahn's last three SW novels, I think I'm going to end my exploration of the Expanded Universe. There's just no fun to be had with it anymore.
