Thanks Katarn! I've only read Hollow Earth and that was pretty good. One thing is for sure, with 11 more to go plus the KOTCS novel, I'll have more then enough books to read for a while. Besides Indy stuff, I've been reading The Road and various Art bios. Too many books, and too little time!Katarn07 said:Am I the only one who prefered MacGregor's to McCoy's? I read Dinosaur Eggs back in 6th or 7th grade and tried to read others, but I couldn't do it. I read the first books of MacGregor's as a junior in high school up to Unicorn's Legacy. That one was pretty weak for me. I didn't continue on with the McCoy ones because I burned myself out on Indy at the time and had bad memories of them from when I was younger....
@ deckard: Peril at Delphi, Dance of the Giants, Seven Veils, Genesis Deluge, and Unicorn's Legacy are the way to go for MacGregor's. And yes, they do rely on one another. I have no clue on the McCoy books but that's the way to get started off.

As an ' Indiana Jones novel beginner', what book is good to begin with? Is there a chronological order? Or doesn't it really matter wich book to start with..
Katarn07 said:Start with Peril at Delphi, then Dance of the Giants, then Seven Veils, then Genesis Deluge, and then Unicorn's Legacy.
That'll get you started off. A Google search or another person here should be all it takes to figure out the order to read McCoy's books. I'd tell ya, but I only read one of them and years before reading the MacGregor books.

Yeah I just realized what a big moron that I am... my library actually has an AMAZING selection of Indy novels... I just didn't see the the "next 10 entries" button on the bottom of the library results web page.Katarn07 said:Hey nezobiwan, can't you order the books through your library from other libraries in the area? My library sucks and rarely has anything I want, whether it be for school or just for recreational reading. I almost always end up getting them from other libraries.
Wow! How interesting. I always loved the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books!salussolia said:Rl stines books are choose ur fate

Yes, there are Young Indy "Choose Your Own Adventure" books by a guy named Richard Brightfield.Katarn07 said:RL Stine was a popular author for kids back in the '90s. That doesn't surprised me they commissioned him to do some. Are they "Young Indiana Jones" ones? I didn't know they made any of him as an adult for kids or I totally would have read them as a kid!
