Fury was out yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to grab it. Will try to pick it up tonight. Gonna try to finish it in time for the party/meeting/bookclub on the 8th. We've got three books to chat about!

I'm on Chapter 21 of Fury. I'll be done by saturday, now that I'm done classes and have time to read. It's pretty rad. And yeah, Invincible's cover looks very promising.

Man...you guys are animals. 
I'm backlogged  and still have yet to crack open Republic Commando and Fury. Additionally in my pile I also have the Scholastic Rise and Fall of Darth Vader and the latest Last of the Jedi, not to mention that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Galaxy...oh right, also the latest magazine (Wal*Mart honors US price...that'll save you a couple bucks). When I get past these I can resume the Young Jedi series (1 left) and then into the NJO stuff. Of the 122+ SW-related novels in the bookshelf I'm only up to 96...mind you, I didn't get into the novels until 1999 or so...8 years after they first started.
On the plus side...completed The Death Star mid-November. A good fast read and was nice to see how everything all fell in together and meshed with the OTC. Vader and Leia were a great addition for our characters to engage with as well as how the plans were "obtained."
Current read: The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. Had to as watching the Tudors stimulated my interest in historical fiction about this period...that and watching Jonathan Rhys Meyers, whom I first saw as enigmatic and compelling Steerpike in the BBC series Gormenghast (2000) based on the books by Mervyn Peake, a contemporary of Tolkien's. On a SW note Christopher Lee was cast as the oddly compelling "Mr. Flay"...highly recommended mini-series!
Definitely need a business trip soon as that's how I can keep up

So I was thinking of organizing a book club meet near the end of the month. A few of us briefly talked about Fury at the FF Xmas party, and so I believe the next book on the list is Darth Bane: Rule of Two (which was released on Dec 26th).
Does the Thursday, Jan 31st work for everyone?

Sounds good to me, though my esteemed brother needs to hurry up and read his copy I got for Christmas. I'll launch into Path of Destruction while that's goin' on.
And the Invincible cover. . .whaaaaa?

Looks like I'm the only one who's finished reading Darth Bane: Rule of Two, so we'll postpone the book club meeting for a bit. I believe the next Legacy book is due out in February, so perhaps we'll include that in our discussion and make for a March meeting instead.

We could talk about a few books and comics that have been released such as:
- Legacy: Fury
- Rule of Two
- Death Star
- Republic Commando: True Colors
- Jedi VS Sith: Essential Guide to the Force
- Dark Times Vol.1: Path to Nowhere
- Legacy comic series
- KOTOR comics series
And if we make the book meeting for march then we can throw in the newest Legacy book as there is so much good EU out there right now. So lets talk both comics and books because STAR WARS IS THE GREATEST.
And yes you can join.
