I just read Darth Bane, Path of Destruction and Deathtroopers in the last 2 weeks. As for Deathtroopers??? I hate Zombie stuff and I really wish Star Wars would stay away from it.

I love zombie movies and whatnot; but I totally agree--Star Wars and zombies are two totally different genres in my mind and should never, EVER come together.  Zombies and Star Wars is not like peanut butter and chocolate.

I picked up Fatal Alliance just after it s release at a local Hastings... Last one they had... at their ussual promotional release price of %50 off a new hardback. I finished reading it for a third time on friday night before the most recent CW cartoon.
I really am liking this storyline, and look forward to future books of this era.
I hope they continue it for at least a couple more books.
I also picked up the latest installment of The Wheel of Time series "Towers of Midnight". I have been looking forward to this one for so long... I did miss the first week promotional deal at Hastings of %50 off cover price, but still got it for $19.99 plus tax. So far I have the entire series in first print, first release hardcover.
If you cant tell, I love this series. There are college level classes where people discuss only this series, and websites with a very comprehensive FAQ section about it. And if you cant find an answer, you can post new topics for discussion and hopefully gain some insight about it.
It is not something you can pick up and read out of order and understand fully, but each book contains a glossary which helps out alot sith anything that may cause you to have questions. A very Tolkeinesque series(not sure about spelling on that one), with books about books and lots of info about what the author has created within the series character and world wise.
I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys reading alot... these books are all massive... and it is about the most consistently well written series I have ever read. Even with Mr Sanderson taking over the ending the story, it follows Mr Jordans style so well, I am hooked.
I really enjoyed the Conan series books written by Mr Jordan when I was younger.
I like big long books. My job has always given me lots of time away from home with little to do, so I read... that is what I do for my "me" time.

Almost 2 weeks ago I picked up the latest Fate of the Jedi series installment titled Vortex at a local Hastings in hardback for$12.99 plus tax.
I spent a week away from home at a school for work and figured I would have plenty of time to read it. I was wrong about that. A week with homework every night never dawned on me. I managed to read about a chapter a day before bed all week, and finished it off in a day when I got home.
I am liking this storyline and the evolution of the characters and events, but it makes you wonder how far they will continue with this story arc. I think there are three more books coming to complete it, but that means nothing.
I have also been checking out the downloadable content for the upcoming novel Red Harvest excerpts  and the Lost Tribe of the Sith stories off starwars.com... the LToS stories are also in the back of the Fate of the Jedi books as well. Both are worth checking out and the price is right... does not get much better than free.
I am looking forward to reading all of Red Harvest when it is released. I tend to like the pre- pre-prequel stories. And how can stories about Sith not be worth checking out?

I'm about halfway through a Tom Clancy book called " End War" the Hunted. It's pretty good if you're into special ops military stuff.

I haven't bought a book since the Star Wars authors and graphic authors started writing their stuff!

I just finished In my Fathers Footsteps, finished up the latest chapter of X-Wing Alliance, and now I am reading the adventures of Sarlaac Squad which I need to get on the fp by the way Volker! Good stuff here. If they keep going I may never have to buy a book again till they get published. Maybe I can get an autographed copy some of the first printed when these guys do?
