Yeah I agree that you should start with the Thrawn Trilogy by Zaun even though it's not technically the first to come after the movies. Another series that I really enjoyed was the X-wing series by Michael Stackpole. I enjoy his writing style and characters, he uses Wedge and other tangent characters from the movies. I found these to be excellent as they don't deal directly with the movies' main characters (Luke, Han, Leia, etc.) so there are no personality quirks/differences between the on-screen versions and written versions. Wedge actually is my favorite character from the novels.
The big thing i've noticed is that the SW books are very hit-or-miss. I really enjoyed some of the books but others were god awful. It's very similar to the forgotten realms books. Some of those are very good/enjoyable and others are almost painful to read. Anyways good luck, hope this was moderately helpful.
