Star Wars Novels

I've been in a Star Warsy mood lately.  Which is a little strange since I'm not a huge fan of the movies.  I really like the universe though and I was wondering if you all could recommend me some Star Wars novels.  I've read several of the X-Wing series and thought they were pretty decent. 
I would prefer books that don't star the leading characters from the movies. 
Are some of the new books about the Clone Wars any good?

The Han Solo trilogy wasn't bad, if you can find it.
