What Star Wars book should I start with?

Im trying to get into the star wars books. In your opinion what series or book should I start with?What Star Wars book should I start with?The Truce at Bakura would be a good starting point, because it begins the day after Return of the Jedi. From there, I would go to the Courtship of Princess Leia, then maybe to Tatooine Ghost (If you like Han and Leia) and then to the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. I, personally, did not enjoy the Thrawn Trilogy because it was very complicated. In that particular trilogy, they introduce a lot of new characters and start to move towards really deep-space Extended Universe stuff. However, the Thrawn Trilogy is a vital gateway towards a lot of the Extended Universe books about Han and Leia's children.



If you are looking for a simple, fun read, I would head in the opposite direction, and read the Han Solo Trilogy by A.C. Crispin. The Han Solo trilogy consists of The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, and Rebel Dawn. It tells the story of Han's life from the time he was 17, right up until Episode 4. It explains things like how Han and Lando came to be friends, how Han won the Millenium Falcon, and how Chewbacca came to owe Han a life debt. It deals with some of Han's early girlfriends, and kind of describes his bachelor life. I would reccommend it because of how closely it matches up with the star wars trilogy.



I posted the wikipedia link for every Star Wars book ever written- I would reccommend finding some of thse titles and reading the synopsis Wikipedia provides. In the back of some of the older Star Wars books, like the Courtship of Princess Leia, there is a list of Star Wars books as well. The list is older and outdated, but it's a little easier than wading your way through the wikipedia list.

Not sure there ARE that many "books" - If you can find any, I'd say follow the sequence of the movies - starting in the middle of the sequence of "stories"What Star Wars book should I start with?Not sure. If you are simply planning on following where the movies left off, you would probably want to start either with either the "Truce at Bakura" or the X-wing series.

I think the first book series in SW universe were those books written by Timothy Zahn?

I read those before the prequel SW movies came out and they were pretty good.



I think since then there's been like umpteen million books set in the Expanded Universe.

Here's a list of them all:
