I started with All Guardsmen Party, only understanding about half of what was going on through context clues and some familiar names.
Now, for what I think might actually be a decent introduction to the lore: Eisenhorn trilogy, Ciaphas Cain, Helsreach, the Night Lords omnibus... And honestly, if you have any faction you're particularly interested in, just pick a book that focuses on them. If you like a certain Space Marine chapter, pick one of their books. They have internal series but each group of books is greatly independent from all others. I started with the Carcharodons books and really enjoyed them. I absolutely loved reading Assassinorum:Kingmaker because I really love the Imperial Knights giant robots. Look around.
