Yes, I play them for like 25 years (on and off, but since 5 years regulary again). Lorewise 40k is very interesting. I read a few books (the quality differs). The first ones were the series by Ian Watson, which predates the black library I think. Watson was an hired outside author, and I think influenced the lore of 40k in his own ways. I read a few books of the horus heresy, but stopped at one point, I think because the actual book wasn't that good and the grander story progressed slowly. But maybe I will continue some day.
I liked the two Inquisition Triologies by Dan Abnett (Eisenhorn and Ravenor).
But my reading list is long and most books on it are better than most black library books, but the world is interesting and they are quick reads, that serve well as something enjoyable between other books.
Finally wh40k gave a style of fantasy books its name,, which I quite like: GrimDark (I don't see this as any strong definitin, more as a label one gives to books).
