CAGiversary!
I was wondering, 'cause I think they're a good, quick read. Currently, there are three of them. Their names in order of how you're supposed to read them are: Fall of Reach, The Flood, and The First Strike. The Fall of Reach is pretty much the prequel of the actual game. It describes how the Master Chief was placed in the Spartan training, describes the training, and goes through all the events that lead up to them going to Halo. The Flood is pretty much just a book version of the game, although it's still cool to read 'cause they have a lot of extra story elements that weren't in the game. And since I haven't finished The Flood yet, I don't know what the First Stirke is about. I'm sure it's a prequel to Halo 2. Anyway, it's really cool to learn more about the Halo universe in these novels and it also really amplifies the story for the games and makes you feel for the characters more while playing the game. I suggest reading these sometime if you have some extra time to do so. It should only take you a month or so to read all three and you'll feel like you know everything about Halo.
