Ah. Good deal :) I am usually less patient with waiting for something 
I really want, but I think I will try :)

Alla:

Kemper, I do not read Star wars books, accordingly I cannot comment 
on their quality. But shhhhhh, the reason I do not read them is 
because I do not think of them as the books of high quality all 
together :)

No, I am not judging them, I am just not wasting my time on them.


Actually, wait, no I am lying, I just realised. I forgot that I did 
read couple of books in Star wars universe by Timothy Zann. A friend 
dearly loves this writer, so he convinced me. It was okay, I guess.

I still think movie is the best though.
