With the pending launch of MWO, I've been wanting to pick up some of the fiction to read... To really get into the BattleTech Universe again.

I'm looking for some suggestions... Which are worth reading? And which aren't?

Illusions of Victory is a great book to start with. (my personal favorite)

Solaris VII is home to the ultimate sporting event--where Mechwarriors from every corner of the Inner Sphere come to make war. Michael Searcy arrived in dishonor, but worked his way up in the ranks to become one of the game's most accomplished players. But now, ancient grudges have reached beyond the arena. And Michael is caught in a championship match where the winner is the last man alive...

A great series is the Blood of Kerensky 3 part series. Covers a major part of the Battletech history.

You can read a good way into the Kerensky series here:

Wolf's Dragoon fans should read:
