I was having doubts about having bought Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: Heir to the Empire … but after reading a bit and seeing annotation after annotation, it is very much worth it!

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised you've never read it before. HttE is actually the only Star Wars EU book I've read. I don't remember much at this point (I read it shortly after release), but I recall it was the first of a planned trilogy. I mostly remember it for being the story that introduced Mara Jade.
I've never read those, but thought of it from all I've heard. I've tried reading some of the other EU stuff, but the vast majority of it is practically unreadable.
Has anyone read the Chalion series by Lois McMaster Bujold?

Highly recommended!
I am thinking of checking out her huge Vorkosigan Saga series. It would be quite an investment to get all ~27 books in the series though. Is it worth it?
@Huris
I'll probably get reamde once available as a paperback. Let us know what you think of it.
Thanks! I though his previous was not very cliche, Anethma. Do you agree?
The final book in the series should be out in March. All 14 books are about as big as Eye of the World plus there's a short novel called "New Spring". So, basically, you're set for life.I'm currently reading the first book of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It's really well-written, but I don't read a lot, so it's taking me ages to finish this book.
The story isn't the most original but some of its concepts are quite good and well-incorporated. Worth a try in my opinion.
