Please list your favourites here.
BTW, this is a very self-serving thread, as I wish to get some, but am cashy-poor and can't afford them all...:D

Are you talking BG ones?

Larson/Thurston Novels

Richard's 1st 2-3 novels (not canon but a fun little beach read)

Graphic Novels I only have a few from the '90s.

I have a few of the
Larson/Thurston novels

But at the moment I am reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. the most non magical magic stories there are. it
like reading a book about our world though a cracked mirror.

If youre talking galactica, I cant really say.

Other fction though, Forbidden Borders by Michael Gere, My absolute all-time favorite.

The best novelization in my opinion would be the Living Legend.Of the 4 original novels,I'd go with Apollo's War.As for the Richard Hatch books,my favorite would have to be Paradis.
As a big comic book fan,my opinions on the various BG series over the years could fill a thread of their own!

I never really liked Apollo War myself. its years since I read it too. I perhaps should read it again.

and my Favourite is Saga... which I am reading again now... but I have others ...

Saga is great because it works on its own as a good scifi novel even if the reader has no prior knowledge of BG.

I started reading it when I broke up with my first girlfriend, and just never got back to it...
Time to peruse the pages once more.:salute:

I am slowly collecting all of the novels as well. There are a few gaps currently, but I can say I've read them too. lol The only one I'm not sure about getting is Galactica Discovers Earth. It's tied to G80. And I think the fact that Living Legand comes after this and incorperates elements of G80 brings the novelization down a bit on what has to be my favorite 2 parter.

Yes mark me down as envious (something I seem to be a lot on this forum!). I read one Hatch ages ago but it was the 3rd or 4th so I was a bit at-sea. Definitely will try to get them though.
