1. Imperium/Conspirata/Dictator [Cicero Trilogy] - Robert Harris (excellent)
2. The Fear Index - Robert Harris (good)
3. 1776 - David McCullough (good)
4. Sharpe's Eagle - Bernard Cornwell (good)
5. Star Wars: Thrawn - Timothy Zahn (okay, fun if you read original Thrawn books)
6. Star Wars: Alliances - Timothy Zahn (okay, not as fun as above)
7. Heir to the Empire - Timothy Zahn (fun!)
8. Star Wars: X-Wing series books by Aaron Allston (fun!)
9. Art and Fear - Bayles & Orland (not that impressed)
So I rediscovered Star Wars stuff I enjoyed a lot as a kid and re-read them as well as some newer SW stuff which was all right but not the same as encountering it at 13 years old.
Discovered Robert Harris this year, he's great. Going to keep reading more of his stuff.
I was re-reading some of the Hornblower books by C S Forester (amazing stuff) and branched out to Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe. It was good fun. Going to read more of that large series.
