I remember reading a couple way back in the day and mostly enjoying them. I barely remember anything about them, though.

Any of them done by James Luceno, except Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. Shatterpoint and Yoda: Dark Rondesvous. The Han Solo trilogy by AC Crispin is excellent. Shadows of the Empire, and of course the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn, which are some of the most famous expanded universe novels, are good places to start. I may have forgotten a few others but anything not on this list runs the risk of being absolutely terrible

I'd avoid this one because it was written before Lucas knew what the characters back story would be so there's major sexual tension between Leia and Luke. Not that it isn't funny, but there's too many deviations from proper Star Wars cannon for me. That kind of thing takes me right out of it. Same with the prequels being really bad. Fortunately the expanded universe does a lot to help this and add depth that I'm sure Lucas is still unaware of.
 
Good deal. Byatch, you ever read any of the comic books? I recent grabbed a bunch of the Star Wars Omnibus trades put out by Dark Horse, but haven't started reading them yet.
