OK, I admit it, I haven't read any of the novels. But before you cap my butt and toss me into the gutter, I'll give you my reasons for not reading them. Usually books based on games suck (i.e. Magic), and I heard lots of people saying that they suck (this, of course, was b4 First Strike came out). Please tell me what you thought of the books as a critic, not the devout Halo zealots we all are here. Grant me your thoughts, comrades in arms. Right now, if I had a choice, I'd reread Ender's Game b4 choosing a Halo novel. Please don't flame, persuade.

READ THE -blam!-ing BOOKS! THEY ARE AMAZING! I MUST'VE READ THEM LIKE FOUR TIMES ALREADY! (btw, the capatilization is for emphasis, not to influence shouting).

My favorite would have to be FoR, then FS. I hated the Flood, its just a repeat of the game.

the Halo novels are great. they give the background of the game and they give the history of MC. they fill in all of the missing pieces (ex. why did the Pillar of Autumn end up anywhere near Halo in the first place or where does MC get all of his ammo?). you should read them. you'll know a hell of a lot more about halo.
