    Jedi Search for me. Come to think of it, that was quite a few years ago.

    It was an en-jay-oh book, I forget which one. All I know is that Chewie's funeral was in it.

    I don't even remember. It would have been Shadows of the Empire or The Paradise Snare, I think. If we're not counting only novels, it might even have been the Essential Guide to Characters, which I think is why I have such a hard time remembering which I read first -- I got the info on half of them at once.

    A friend lent me Heirs of the Force about 8-9 years ago. When I really got into the EU I started with Heir to the Empire.

    I believe it was Lando Calrissian and the Mind Harp of Sharu, but may have been Splinter of the Minds Eye at a very young age. Did have all the read along cassette books for each movie of the Original Trilogy as well.

    The Empire Strikes Back Novelization was my very first star wars read but my first EU read was Mandalorian Armor... maybe that's why I'm so addicted to the mandies.

    ESB Novelization for a book report in 7th grade. A classmate of mine did "Heir to the Empire". I found out the name of the author of that one and the rest is history.

    The New Rebellion, randomly.

    I was so confused. :p Once I read Heir to the Empire, everything made so much more sense.

    Return of the Jedi novelisation when it first came out. I got it from the book club at school. The cover had a blue lightsaber and Luke's glove was on the wrong had. Still have it too.

    ANH novelization. (I've got a first edition of the paperback). The first EU book was probably Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

    Not sure if this really counts, but the first Star Wars book I read was the Return of the Jedi Storybook. The first EU book I read was either The Crystal Star or Heir to the Empire.

    Balance Point, was my first book, and at the time I realized that it wasn't the first of the NJO, I was mad considering I wanted to read them from first book to last book.

    Due to laziness, however, this was most likely the last book that I read too. Wookieepedia is responsible for my knowledge of the Expanded Universe, not the original source.

    Star by Star was the First SW book i ever read, and it was pretty much responsible for dragging me back into the world of SW Nerdom. :p
