books that have been on my plate lately…
david sedaris’ when you are engulfed in flames;
funny, but not as good as his previous works. maybe he’s just a little more grown up. i don’t know what it is, but i just didn’t like this one as much as his others.
the rule of two;
the second book in the darth bane series. awesome story that takes place long before episode one. gives a great back story of the sith and the light and dark side of the force.
tales of the jedi, vol. 1;
an awesome graphic novel taking place around 4000 years before return of the jedi. gives an excellent background on where the sith came from and how they came the “empire” as it was. this book chronicles the start of “the great hyperspace wars” and gives the story of naomi sunrider.
legacy, vol. 2 shards and vol. 3 claws of the dragon;
i love the legacy graphic series. it follows cade skywalker, luke’s great great grandson or something to that effect. it’s also a time where hoards of sith lords have taken over the empire and the jedi are all but extinct. the art in this series is phenomenal.
the clone wars vol. 1 the defense of kamino;
another graphic novel that chronicles the events after episode 2 and up until episode 3. awesome art, good writing as well.
