I would say most people who love halo have read the books. However, the books are based on the game, not the other way around. Not everything in the books is going to happen in the game, the books simply add some flavor, and help explain things. Think of it like this, when you first played halo you understood the storyline, and that time there were no books. When the books came out you saw the spartans past, and how thing happened. You dont need to read them to understand the game.
