Wanted to read up more on the 40k universe, was wondering what some good starter titles would be (seeing if my local library or Barbles has a few.) Interested in Space Marines, Orks, or Tau.
 
Gaunt's Ghosts is IG, but considered one of the *must* reads of the of the universe, especially for new readers.

The Horus Heresy deals with space marines and the fall into Chaos and is easily the best military sci-fi nobody knows of. It deals specifically with various Space Marine (and some Chaos) chapters, as well as touching pretty much every aspect of the Imperium at one point or another.

Fifteen Hours is also a fantastic book, IG vs Orks. One of my favorite 40k books. (I've got the much cooler green version in the second cover picture on the link)

Space Wolf Is a great read, obviously dealing with the Space Wolf SM chapter. :P

The only book I've read that has any dealings with the Tau is Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium. It's told from the first person, and in a rarity for the 40k universe, is often quite humorous. Plus there's run ins with Necrons and Orks.
 
The Ultramarines Omnibus, The Spacewolf Omnibus, Inquisition Wars, The Horus Heresy books.

Also, do an internet search for "Warhammer 40k Fluff Bible" It is littered with a TON of information on the WH40k universe. A bit dry for some, I imagine...
 
That's why you need to buy a moped and make the dangerous journey up here (everyone goes 90 on that highway xD) so I can save 12 bucks on shipping.
