So...., by discussion, what will we be discussing, really?

Are we going to be analyzing themes and all that?

Basically, is this going to be English class but with Star Wars books?


Oh god no. If it was, on top of not reading the book, I would not even go to the meeting!

No, we talk about how it effects canon, parts you liked, parts you hated, etc.


OK, good. I heard "discussion" and had a mini freakout.

Well, that's cool. I'm up for that then.

Awww, I liked discussions reminiscent of English class...or not ;-)
Although, I have to say that when coming up with topics a book for a discussion I always found it helpful to attempt to apply what I learned in English class...eg is the author trying to get across any messages and what does the group think of them.

So I just finished Force Heretic III from the NJO. One of the better books in the NJO story arc.

I would agree that was a better book from the NJO. My favorite is still the last of the series. I think it is Unifying Force.

The Unifying Force, Vector Prime, Star by Star, Traitor, Agents of Chaos I, and Dark Tide II: Ruin are my favorite.

It's interesting looking back to see how many of the books I liked from NJO. Many more than I would have expected.

The next book will be another standalone and the two choices are

Republic Commando: Hard Contact
Death Star


Death Star will be the choice if it is in paperback if I remember correctly. I already have RepCom.

Republic Commando isn't standalone though, really.

Death Star is a good choice.
