You'll wish you'd read First Strike before the second game, unless you want to get the story from a short recap that Bungie would be wise to put in the intro to the game.

edit: Read Fall of Reach and First Strike, as they are new material, The Flood is essentially a retelling of the game with more detail (and a different writer).

Fall of Reach is essentially the prequel story to Halo, and First Strike is (in theory) the story between Halo 1 and Halo 2.

You've inspired me to start reading them, I'm going to splurge myself into all three books before November 9th.
