So I am nearing the End of the Legacy of the Force arc and am wondering what arc to start next?

Anyone has suggestion I am open to them. I wants moar Wars in meh life, I will be reading them chronologically eventually (i.e. after I has der moneys to purchase all/most of them as i reads them so I don't have to wait on library and all that jazz) but at the moment I just kinda wanna read them at random. I have read enough of the base lore post empire to understand what's going on in New Republic/GA erra's

Dunno about Star Wars books, to be honest.

Presumably they contain reasonably gripping tales of adventure, but not much in

the way of actual sci-fi (star wars is really fantasy set in space, rather than sci-fi)?

Anyway for decent sci-fi in general I recommend the following 10 authors and their books, in no particular order:

Dune - Frank Herbert (and maybe the next 2 books but they're not quite as good)

Foundation - Isaac Asimov (and in fact the entire Foundation series is excellent)

2001 - Arthur C. Clark (and also 2010, 2061, 3001)

Ubik - Philip K. Dick (or anything else he wrote... he's the guy who wrote the basis for A Scanner Darkly, Minorty Report, Total Recall, Blade Runner, The Adjustment Bureau)

Neuromancer - William Gibson

The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester (also known as Tiger! Tiger!)

The Demolished Man - Alfred Bester

Eon - Greg Bear (and also Eternity, its sequel)

Use Of Weapons - Iain M. Banks (and also any other books in his "Culture" series, particularly The Player of Games, and Matter)

K-PAX - Gene Brewer (although the follow-ups aren't quite as good)

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
