Can't say that I have. In fact, I haven't read any of Zahn's non-Star Wars novels.

I love that book. It's a terribly important work of literature, if you ask me.

I'm currently reading Anthem by Ayn Rand. It, in my opinion, is a great novella that I've enjoyed.

The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks
Really like how Weeks invents his own system for magic and that he discribes it in a very logic way unlike many other fantasy books.

I've been meaning to read those, but my library doesn't carry them and I can't justify spending money on em. What are your thoughts? If they live up to the show, I might just have to justify the expense.

It's essentially Castle, the book. Just with character names changed, slightly changed characters, and Rook (Castle analogue) is a magazine writer as opposed to a novelist.

So if you love Castle as I do, you'll love the book.

EDIT: I'm so silly. A rook chess piece is also known as a castle and I only just noticed this.

Triplet by Timothy Zahn.

Little over halfway done. Zahn has yet to disappoint me, I thought maybe his earlier work would be the first to do so, I was wrong.
