Hi,
You can really start anywhere with the majority of the novels. There are some multi-book stories, but many, many of them are one-offs. Just pick a Trek series you most enjoy, look at the back to make sure it's not part of a long arc, see if the plot piques your interest, then start.
One of the more interesting series, which I doubt very much are electronic, are the so-called Blish-books which were literally TV episodes rewritten in book format. If I recall correctly, they were re-issued in the late 80s, but I might not be remembering that right.
Oh, and if you're a fairly observant Star Trek fan, you'll note a lot of weird continuity errors. For instance, one book, "Strangers From The Sky," which tells a pretty detailed account of the Vulcans first contact with Humans, is almost all nullified by later stories. My understanding is that Paramount doesn't consider the books part of the so-called canon.
I had a lot of fun reading them when I did. Not so much anymore.
