What are some must read books in the Warhammer 40k universe?

I have zero familiarity with the lore, but have always heard that it has some good stories. I'm currently wrapping up my run through all of the Thrawn novels and starting to look for another series to dive into.

So, what's the best entry point, must reads, or fan favorites?

As someone who also just started out with Warhammer 40k (and also got onboard a few friends with this lol) I’d say the Eisenhorn trilogy is a great place to start.

It's basically a space thriller. And while extended lore is present, it's not required to enjoy the story. Whathever is mentioned gets explained and makes the whole trilogy very beginner-friendly.
