Expanded Universe

I'm just starting geting into this side of star wars, and i'm wondering what the best set of books to start with are?
I have read all the films in book format(except for episode III obviously).

So what shoul i read first?

I'd recommend anything by Timothy Zahin, be warn though a lot of the other writers in the expanded universe are bad very very bad, but Zahin is a safe bet.

this order of reading is good

Shadows of the empire

Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the empire, Dark Force Rising, Last Command)

Then the X-Wing series (im not typing out all the books!!)
Then the Hand of Thrawn Duology

If you can, pick up the Tales from.... books, some sweet stories about thrawn and the like.

after that, you should be all set for the New Jedi Order series, which i am very much enjoying

this is fairly sport on
shadows of the empire is set between empire & return of the jedi
so is a good starting point.

i read a few others but some of them can be quite dire, find an author u like & stick to them initially.As said above zahn is good

King of Arrakis

Shadows of The Empire? wasn't that a one of the N64's launch titles? I think the's a difference between it and the book as Dash does not die! I think you will find that out if you search for him on starwars.com.
