Blood quest is a good comic thing as well.

Yeah it really is. Actually, Warhammer monthly did quite a bit of good stuff, some of which is now available as collected editions.

I'd second the mention of Execution Hour, and also its sequel Shadow Point.

Fire Warrior was by Simon Spurrier, not CS Goto, and I quite liked it - I thought it gave a good depiction of the Tau though Kais' internal 'war is hell' monologues did get very tedious quite quickly.

The short stories in Deathwing are good, as is Bill King's Farseer. I also like some of his Space Wolf series, the first and third ones as the others didn't seem as good for some reason.

wait you mean blood quest is worth something?

If you can get hold of them, Gav Thorpe's Last chancer's trilogy is a decent read. The last books gets a little wierd, but still fun enough. Kill Team was also the first source to have proper Tau/human interactions that weren't purely one fighting the other.

American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson. Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan. Heroes Die by Matthew Stover. Joker One, Donovan Campbell's memoir of the Iraq war.

Because, frankly, there is better stuff out there than the Black Library.

Rock music? Oh deeeear. Have you tried classical, my good friend? So much better.

Anything by C L Werner!

Nothing on that list had anything to do with music... but even if it didn't I don't think pulp sci-fi would qualify as a classic.

Which Black Library books would you all recommend as being good?

Don't rush out to tell me about Dan Abnett's latest work, I;m asking Which Black Library books would you all recommend as being good, other than those by BL's BIG GUNS

So, outside of Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill, Aaron Massive-Surname, Sandy Mitchell and the Horus Heresy Series , what is worth reading?

There's some great books out there (and many terrible ones)

What would you all recommend?

Brotherhood of the snake, its my favourite space marine book of all time.
