I just ordered the readers companion and I have high hopes for it http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0345511190/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=pe_309540_26725410_item_image
EDIT: Realized that was the mobile link. Fixed the link: http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Readers-Companion-Star-Wars/dp/0345511190
UPDATE: An I received it. It completely lives up to my expectations.
The newest Essential Reader's Companion is the best yet. So many original pieces of artwork in it, and the summaries are insanely well done. You could honestly read through just that and have a pretty thorough understanding of everything that has ever happened in the Star Wars EU.
Pick up this book as a reference guide to Legends:

The best place to start is the Thrawn Trilogy. I started with Darth Plagueis.
You should check out the Star Wars Reader's Companion
Try playing Knights of the old Republic 1 and 2, it tells you a lot about the Second Sith War and the Mandalorian Wars. Also I would highly recommend all the new Essential guides, found in any Chapters store or Amazon
