i want to start reading star wars and i%26#039;m confused about which book is the first and what order to read them in. please help me out.
What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.
What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
Do you mean the books that correspond to the 6 movies? Start with %26quot;Phantom Menace.%26quot; Then you%26#039;ll be reading them in chronological order according to the story line.
What happened was, %26quot;Star Wars%26quot; the movie came out in 1978 (around then, anyway). Then came %26quot;The Empire Strikes Back%26quot; and %26quot;Return of the Jedi.%26quot; Those 3 movies are the *original* trilogy.
But they decided to do prequels. So the fourth SW movie made is the FIRST in the STORY. And what was originally called simply %26quot;Star Wars%26quot; became %26quot;Star Wars FOUR: A New Hope.%26quot; The first one made, but the 4th according to the timeline.
I hope that%26#039;s not too confusing! Anyway, just start with %26quot;Phantom Menace%26quot; and you%26#039;ll be fine. Enjoy!
EDIT: Looks like Xalia knows the SW books, including those not directly related to the movies. There are many dozens of them.
Reply:If you are already familiar with the movies, then you probably won%26#039;t need to read the novelizations of Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (Episodes 4, 5 and 6). These books were written after the movies came out and include everything that was seen on the screen. There are some small tidbits that have been added, but for the most part, they are just the movie.
The novelizations of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (Episodes 1, 2 and 3) contain some additional stuff that wasn%26#039;t seen in the movies and these were written as companions to the movies as they were released.
(Background - Lucas wrote 9 parts to the Star Wars saga, but didn%26#039;t start with part 1 largely because he didn%26#039;t have the technology to make it the way he wanted it and he couldn%26#039;t get the backing. He was able to get the backing and created a lot of the technology to make Episode 4 - which is the first movie created, but the fourth in the chronology of the series. The movies were released in this order 4 - 5 - 6 - 1 - 2 - 3.)
Now, as far as the books go, there are over 100 books to choose from. This applies to the adult titles - there is a whole separate world of Young Adult and Children%26#039;s stories as well. If you pick up any of the most recently published titles (Legacy of the Force) and look in the first few pages, you will see a complete timeline for all the books that have been published, starting with 1000 years before the events of Episode 4 up to 40 or so years after.
There are basically two types of books - those featuring the main characters and those featuring new or peripheral characters from the movies.
I will start with the main character series and novels. These continue the story between the movies and after the movies and contain many good books and/or series. Of these books, I recommend the following (listed in order as they appear in the timeline):
Rogue Planet
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader
The Han Solo Trilogy - The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (a must read if you are a Han Solo fan)
The Courtship of Princess Leia
Tatooine Ghost
The Thrawn Trilogy - Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command (these are among the best books written in the series and should definitely be included)
The Jedi Academy Trilogy - Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force
The Hand of Thrawn Duology - Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future
The New Jedi Order - 17 books in this series. More dramatic than the movies and the events are much more tragic and life-altering to the characters.
These books in large part, fill out and complete the story of the lives of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke, Chewie, the droids and plenty well loved and great new characters.
I haven%26#039;t really been able to get into the character novels that take place between The Phantom Menace and A New Hope, but you may want to check some of those out as well.
However, I have greatly enjoyed the novels that include new and/or peripheral characters to the movies and recommend that you also include these titles in your reading list:
Path of Destruction: Darth Bane and Rule of Two (a must read if you are interested in Sith mythology/history)
Republic Commando series - Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors (about clone troopers and two young Jedi generals leading them, if you are a Jango Fett/Boba Fett fan, these will probably interest you)
X-Wing series - 9 book series (see inside books for series order) (Wedge rebuilds Rogue Squadron with new characters and take on new missions)
I, Jedi - another of the best books in the Star Wars universe (about the training and apprenticeship of Corran Horn)
Hopefully all this information doesn%26#039;t scare you off from reading these books. For the most part, the books are very well written and keep you occupied for a very long time.
Also, you don%26#039;t necessarily need to read all the books in timeline order, however, you should read any books in a series in the series order. You can start with books/series about your favorite characters and fill in with other books or series when you are ready.
Good luck and enjoy.

Well, I need a catchy title.?
It%26#039;s for a story I%26#039;m writing about a girl that develops Stockholm Syndrome. Any help or suggestions are greatly appriciated. I kind of wanted to go with the theme of being someone you don%26#039;t know, like Mirror, Mirror, but obviously that title is a bit of a snorefest.... Thanks so much.

Which book should I chose?
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Black Boy by Richard Wright
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
well, I have to read a book from the list and basically write notes in it, and highlight stuff, which book do you think would be best?
I would really apriciate if you could tell a bit about the book you recomend, and they have to be from the list above
thnx alot
鈾?br>Which book should I chose?
The old man and the sea. Hemingway is personally one of my favorite writers and his work is really beautiful. If not, then my second choice would be Catcher in the Rye...simply because, it%26#039;s a classic.
Which book should I chose?
Some people Love the catcher in the Rye, and others hate it with a passion. When I read the old man and the sea, I found it to be a remarkably long book despite the fact that it doesn%26#039;t have very many pages. I bored me slighty. Their eyes were watching God is by far my favorite from that list (of the one%26#039;s I%26#039;ve read) hope that helps!
Reply:The Jungle : )
Reply:I haven%26#039;t read any of them, but I have read other Hemingway, which I really enjoy. His style tends to be very short sentences and have very masculine main characters. I don%26#039;t tend to like %26quot;chick lit,%26quot; so I enjoy Hemingway%26#039;s style.
I%26#039;ve heard of all of them, though, and find that most are split on liking/disliking them. Most people I%26#039;ve talked to enjoy %26quot;The Catcher in the Rye.%26quot;
Reply:The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger. In my opinion no other books captures adolescent angst than this one. Its short and lots of fun to read. Plus its really cute specially in the end. Look this book up on Wikipedia.org for more info on it.
Reply:I am a big Hemingway fan, so read Old Man and the Sea...Besides, he won the Noble Prize for this story, so it%26#039;s a classic....

A bunch of questions on writing?
Hi, answers.
Many many many questions on a new piece that has come to my mind. I have finally dropped an idea that I stuck with for nearly a year (only temporarily though), and I%26#039;ve decided on writing a simpler, light-hearted story.
The story stars a young, rookie magician (name undecided - we%26#039;ll just call her Emily for now) and her cat (named Poof), on a journey to become skilled and popular. The pair face rejection, bad luck, poor financial condition, backstabbing, and many other unfortunate events.
This is what I need help with:
- Emily%26#039;s actual name. I would prefer something one or two syllables long, and, if you can, a name with a rather magical meaning.
- Story%26#039;s title. I probably didn%26#039;t give you enough to work with, so don%26#039;t worry about answering this one.
- I need more events for the story. I want to get this off the ground as soon as possible, but I%26#039;m at a loss as to the majority of what happens.
- I appreciate any extra things you would like to add.
A bunch of questions on writing?
maybe a name like justice, charity...i don%26#039;t know
uh...something about magic for the title---just like magic---my magical adventure (thats kinda cheesy though)

Add some more characters! I think that secondary characters are very important. You have to set up your world. You have a lot to develop on your story so figure that out first. I%26#039;m not sure what advice I can give until you figure out more. Where is it? What is the time period? Why is it so important to become skilled and popular? Popular, what do you mean by that? Who will help her? What is the target audience? I hope to give you more help once you answer those. :D Good luck!
Reply:1) i liket he name Stella [like stars kind of], Clover, Alice [not two syllables but sounds really pretty]. you could name her after something, like Rain or Skye and make it so that her magic relates to that
-um, maybe Bad Luck or possibly Disappearing Act or Invisible. that%26#039;s waht cfomes to mind but who knows. i read a book about magicians called The Rope Trick andit was like the most valued trick. maybe you can relate.
- maybe Poof goes missing or has kittens [awww, so cute], or maybe she%26#039;s forced to work for a magic company.
- i hope you add tarot in there. magicians that play tarot are cool.
- I WANT TO READ IT! when you are done email me what it%26#039;s called and your name [author]. :D score, i got a good book to read

My cat eats woolen things, what should I do?
His real name is Kao K%26#039;o-Kung, but he%26#039;s called Koko for everyday purposes. He is Siamese. He licks photos and envelopes, too. One day he chewed up a dollar%26#039;s worth of postage stamps. But the cloth is bothering me most.
At first I thought that it was moth that got into my things and made hole in all my woolen ties. But then I caught Koko eating Danish Modern chair, upholstered with green wool, and understood that it was him. I am worried about Koko%26#039;s health - he may have indigestion, or maybe even die because of this. Plus, I am subletting an apartment in a posh area, in Villa Verandah, it was done by a fashionable interior designer, and that chair costs a lot of money. I will never be able to replace it on my salary of a newsman. What should I do?
My cat eats woolen things, what should I do?
call your vet and ask if there is a spray.. i used the same sour apple spray they use with dogs to train them from chewing..
also a plain spray water bottle does work when you can catch the cat.. it sounds like the cat is bored.. honestly.. get toys
My cat eats woolen things, what should I do?
hope he pukes up an angora sweater! sorry joking,....
jessylynn is right--bitter apple spray and a squirt gun/bottle do help alot!
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry, things will be looking up soon. I predict a change in fortune. Meanwhile, pay attention to what Koko is saying. I think he%26#039;s a Cat Who will help you in mysterious ways.
Reply:Yes, sour apple spray works great. *points at the first answer*
It smells like alcohol for a little while, but it helped me train my cat off of hiding under moving easy chairs and chewing on our Christmas tree. Even if it%26#039;s not actually something they chew on, it%26#039;s great for keeping cats out of places they shouldn%26#039;t go - mine can%26#039;t stand the smell of it.
Reply:Get another cat that you will name Yum Yum %26amp; start solving mysteries, that should take his mind off the chair until you move to Mooseville. =)
Reply:A newsman could replace so long ago his original Siamese by a fake Bayadere.
. . . as long as for some one the original is more important . . . then it will cost him anything he has to pay . . .
No cheap thrill . . .
Reply:Um... He might be able to read backwords... yeah...
