Yep Pattonfan, ive read all the Star Wars books actually! (Except most of the ones released in the least year or so)
Everything Timothy Zahn has done with Star Wars has been excellent!
I like Trek even less than Spawn does, and I don't play computer games or RPGs. On the other hand, I watch Doctor Who, I can quote entire episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus and I consider myself an authority on obscure Brit TV shows that most of you would never have heard of. Anyone remember Sapphire & Steel? No? Didn't think so .
In addition, I spend large chunks of my life online, I read comics and watch cartoons, I'm an occasional chess player and I like to collect things just so I can put them away in nice, neat, alphabetical order. I suppose that makes me a nerd, but I prefer to be called a "student of unpopular culture" .
