&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for asking! &lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://blogs.starwars.com/share/img/emoticons/happy.gif" alt=":)" /&gt; I, along with my father, have been reading the Expanded Universe novels in chronological order since May of 2006 (along with various non-Star Wars books) and reviewing them as we go. We came up with the name of &lt;a href="http://www.rancorslovetoread.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Rancors Love to Read&lt;/a&gt; for our program and maintain a &lt;a href="http://www.rancorslovetoread.com/" target="_blank"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt; tracking our progress and all our reviews. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this blog, I'll be re-posting my reviews here periodically and would welcome any discussion. Also, I've been a dedicated Star Wars collector and general fan since 1977, so I will intersperse other related musings amongst the reviews from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hope you enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;
