So not surprisingly I am an Audible subscriber. I love a good audiobook and listen to them when I am driving along with the numerous podcasts. I get a free audiobook a month from Audible and I get discounts on the books in their library. I recently downloaded I, Jedi by Michael Stackpole. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the star wars novels and their audiobooks. The star wars universe is a fun playground to begin with. Sadly not all of the writers who wrote in it are stellar, but most are pretty good. The audiobooks for them are great as they have full music as well as sound effects in many cases. They are usually a good listen with excellent voices doing the narration.

So here is my thing. Audible has a fairly complete library of the star wars audio collection. I am thinking of listening to all of the Expanded Universe titles I have not read over the next year. I will finish the New Jedi order and go from there I think. But first I return to I, Jedi. Does anyone have any favorites in the expanded universe novels?

I read some of the Jedi Academy, the Jedi Search, shadows of the empire, and i got into some of the new jedi order stuff but stopped about a third of the way through.

Yeah, I was the same way. I just couldn't get interested in them.

yeah i kind of lost interest in them as well. I am going to slogg through them though. They were not terrible just not as good. I have been told it pays off towards the end. I think one of my problems is that they are much darker than some other series in star wars. Star wars is a setting you can go too dark.

Yeah, when I read Star Wars I want mostly happy swashbuckling adventure. I dont like it much darker than Empire Strikes Back. Revenge of the Sith was almost too dark.
