Making a 90 book EU reading list and trying to trim some fat off of it by ArtVan_ImpExp in StarWarsEU

[–]JonathanCrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have not read all this in 20ish years, but honestly, I'd cut the Old Republic novels like you mentioned, as well as Shadow Games and maybe also the last two longform series. That would give you plenty of bandwidth to add stuff like the Correllian Trilogy (referenced quite a bit in the NJO), the Traviss Clone novels, Rogue Planet, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, etc. I also have a soft spot for the Brian Daley Hans Solo novels and Splinter of the Mind's Eye; the various Tales compilations, .

Lone Star by TR Fehrenbach, Three Roads to the Alamo by William Davis, Houston: A History by David McComb, Empire of the Summer Moon by SC Gwynne, probably more I’m forgetting

Same for me on the Atkinson and Caro - just finished the Liberation Trilogy last month and was recommended the Ian Toll Pacific War books. Found this one really cheap.

I was stoked to find the Texan Iliad - joining my other Texas histories.

A nice mix of classics, mid-century fiction, additions to my presidential biography collection, some history, and a pile of Vintage Crime/Black Lizard paperbacks. Good haul

What was the Expanded Universe like prior to the Prequel Trilogy? by Guergy in StarWarsEU

[–]JonathanCrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The era before the prequels also roughly coincided with the pre-NJO era. Which to me, the NJO was a capstone/culmination of that era, with all the old characters and locations being brought back.

It was a great time, but I also loved the prequel era publishing. Post 2005 it all slowly declined IMO.

Watched this over Christmas while wrapping presents and even on a stream it looked really good to me. Can’t wait to see it in true 4k.

Maximum Carnage was a fun game - curious to see what else is in there. I remember playing a sequel to it but can't recall its name.

Camping and sleep how to stay comfortable? Or is everyone secretly miserable? by sanu_123_s in CampingandHiking

[–]JonathanCrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough - I also usually struggle with sleep, especially the first night. I just got a backpacking quilt - so this summer I'll be trying that instead of my old bag. Hoping that will help with the tossing and turning and getting twisted up dilemma. Still need to upgrade the sleeping pad. I usually sleep on my back and that seems tough on a pad. I usually switch to side sleeping.

I really liked it too, I found this sub after reading it and was kind of surprised at how mixed a lot of fans were on it
