Since we're also adding dead folk, I'd buy two copies of each book if they could get Boris and Arkady Strugatsky. (read [i]Roadside Picnic[/i] before you die, or your life was a waste of time.)
Alternatively, if they can't be had at any price, Stanislaw Lem would be an acceptable also-dead option. (If I could afford to pay everyone in the world a dollar to read [i]Memoirs found in a Bathtub[/i], I'd do it even if it bankrupted me.)

Edited by aboniks: 8/4/2014 6:20:10 AMI have a shameful confession to make. I don't read novelized video game adaptations, and I've never read a star wars book either. It's not snobbery (at least not conciously) it's just that there are [i]so many[/i] other things to read out there. Once I've played the game, or watched the show, I'm not usually motivated to get any deeper into that universe. The exception is books based on movies that I haven't read...those will get me to pick up the book even if the movie is atrocious. I know. I'm a bad fan, and I should feel bad. ;)

normally I would agree with you but a friend recommended Karen Traviss' Star Wars Republic Commando series and it was really good. you should check them out. The first book in the series is called Hard Contact. other than the republic commando series, I haven't read any of her work or extended universe novels in general. If she writes Destiny Novels then I I'll probably read them but like you I usually stick to original fiction series.
