Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Chronological order of Halo timeline:

Fall of Reach
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx

The best place to start is The Fall of Reach, which talks about the Spartans and their training. First Strike actually talks about the Battle of Reach. Those are the first 2 books you should read.
As the other posters have said, you should probably read them in order.

Edited for acuraccy.

After that you can read whichever one you want.


Although, I would recommend reading reading them in the order they came out. which is

Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx
Contact Harvest
The Cole Protocol

True, go with this. My order was counting year setting at the end of The Fall of Reach not the start. Go with this.

I would suggest reading them in the order they were released:

Fall of Reach-Background info on the Spartan Program (and of course, the battle of Reach)

The Flood-Novelization of Halo Combat Evolved (it has a few scenes that aren't in the game.)

First Strike-Connects Halo 1 and 2 (and it explains how Johnson survived.)

Ghosts of Onyx- Sequel to First Strike, even more background on the Spartan program.

Contact Harvest-details the start of the human-covenant war, some background information on Sgt. Johnson and the Engineers.

Cole Protocol-Background information on the Arbiter and Cpt. Keyes
