Got a bunch of magazines called "Das Magazin (The Magazin)" from the German Democratic Republic from the 1970s and 1980s. It's like a time machine :laugh:

I may eventually dip my toes into the Star Wars expanded universe again at some point.  I remember liking the Jedi Academy Trilogy and the X-Wing series (don't think I finished them, I think there is like 14).

For now I've been re-reading all my favorite "hacker" books.  I do mean the old school definition of hacker.  Steve Wozniak's iWoz is something I go back to every few years.  He's much more of an idol to me than Steve Jobs would ever be.  Just someone who enjoys life and has done so much with the time given to him.  Co-founding Apple, leaving to start other companies, putting on two huge concerts, playing countless pranks and helping with computer education.  Kevin Mitnick's "ghost in the wires" keeps me on the edge of my seat even though I've read it a few times before, it's just such a unique story.  I would have ran from the FBI too if I had been put in solitary confinement for 8 months without ever hurting anyone or depriving any person of property.  People just didn't understand technology back then.  I would recommend either of these to anyone, even to non-technical people.

I'm reading : Star Wars - Thrawn (tome 1) from Timothy Zahn.
Already 4 chapters in, it's nice to get some background on this character...
I never read anything about him before his first appearance in the Rebels serie.
It feels right to get to know him a little bit better before the Ahsoka's serie comes out.

I'm finishing up Naomi Novik's Temeraire series (basically alt-history Napoleonic Wars with dragon air forces).

You can also go back and read the old EU novels where he first appeared (same author) - there's a trilogy and a duology. Heir to the Empire is almost certainly going to be influential to the broad story strokes of Ahsoka.
