"I just wanted to know how it ends!"
It never really pays off, just read a summary.
And that's how I disappointed your mother.

Me with Death Note
At least it's short. Would be much worse if you felt this way about One Piece.
Well, the live action one will probably be cancelled before it gets to 8 seasons.
Edit: apropos of nothing just gonna make some dinner now and watch an episode of the Witcher

This sums up all of Warhammer in 3 comments.
I've dislocated my shoulder fourteen times. Somewhere amongst those dislocations, I had a surgery to stop it from happening again. (It didn't work.) However, the surgeon apparently forgot to write a prescription for the kind of medicine that one would usually have after having a shoulder sliced open. As a result, I didn't sleep that night and, as a further result, I read the entirety of a Warhammer book.
(I'm not actually sure it shows up in this stack; I think it was a witch hunter series. Most of what I remember is some nemesis severing the tendons required to smile.)
Anyway, I haven't dislocated my shoulder in a while - whether due to surgery or fortuity I couldn't say - but the above is all that comes to my mind when I think of Warhammer books. Also, I now have three tiny scars about my shoulder.
That could be a couple different ones.
But, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn had his ability to show emotion severed during interrogation by an enemy, and due to that person's ineptitude at torture, he lost the connection for some nerves in his face. I'm reading that series now, having started several books too far into it and finding a 'you're the clone of other character from the first few books' and needing to restart so I could get the full context
I'm sorry for explicitly disregarding your username, but there are multiple books in which Eisenhorn (thank you for reminding me of the name) has his expressions disabled?

Some are pretty good.
Some are pretty not.
They didn't expect the success of the first few that made the times best seller list, thats like massively more than they expected to sell, so they increased the planned number and the quality dropped massively as they expanded to the authors to suit.
If you read just the best books you'd still get the same favour but cut it to about 20 books or so, including the best ones in the Siege of Terra that are the actual ending.

I got suckered in because the first book was by Dan Abnett, and I ran out of both Eisenhorn and Gaunt's Ghosts, so Horus Heresy sounded like a good idea. I read about a dozen of them before I realised the poor quality of most of them outweights by investment in the story and gave up.
Yeah.... Dan Abnett is the pretty much the only writer keeping the black library from being a huge pile of trash.

It's never too late to walk away from things that suck. Crappy relationships, shitty jobs, bad books, you have the power of choice.
I know and I choose to suffer! Why? Because I can!
I got drunk one night and bought all of them in paperback from Amazon. ALL of them. Think I’ve read 12 or so and the rest are just in a box. Don’t drink and shop folks, I still haven’t even opened any of the omnibuses
Same, but I bought the Culture novels. They were fine, except the ugly parts.

Is there a better way to absorb warhammer lore ?
Date trans girls
Get some other nerd on YouTube to read it out so you can be a nerd with different stuff.
My method was to play Warhammer: Total War with a friend who knew all of the lore and constantly ask him stuff about the armies we were fighting.
The Owlcat game is pretty cool
As a person who's not into the table top games, but loves the lore.
I watch/listen to a few channels:
WesHammer - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSDj6ttwzj2sr464jDdg_pA
He does a short introduction (on camera), then the rest is audio with relevant artwork and some video from the games.
Aside from the usual deep-dives into the various factions and popular characters, I enjoy his Grim Dark Story Hour vids. These focus on creepy (horror) short stories from random Warhammer books, where Wes does some voice acting as well.
The Sleepy Hollow - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC86zNGwCUt5gBnizRSWSLuA
Warhammer lore (and game lore). It's meant to be for helping people get to sleep. But I listen to it during the day. If you do use it for sleep, watch out for the super loud Youtube ads that play in the middle, if you don't have Premium or use Peertube.
There are a lot of other Youtubers that do good content as well, like Arbitor Ian etc.
The top two are my recommendations.

I read all of the Left behind books ... Am I Christian? No. Are the books really well written? Also, no. Why did I read them? I guess for the lols
I read them all back in high school when I was a good, Christian boy. Loved 'em. Read them again within the last couple of years. Even with the faith aspect removed, they're a fun enough read. Doesn't take much brain power to get through them

I only see like 45 books here. Isn't he missing half of them?
This is me and Brandon Sanderson, but the answer is most definately: Yes.

I tried to read one and couldn't get past the first chapter. It's just cliche macho mania page after page. Grim dark Jim grits his teeth and struggles valiantly against the bad guys. Then grits his teeth and says a prayer for his dead friends. Then grits his teeth and goes to fight bad guys. Then grits his teeth. It was just awful writing.
Dentist: "so have you noticed any teeth gritting lately?"

It starts to gets good after book 42 shame about the ending though.
I 100% Dragon's Dogma 2 despite hating every minute of it because I got it on PS5 and couldn't refund it anyway. I had to milk my money back out of it somehow.
I wasted money on this, but to make up for it, I also wasted my time
You can [blank] for free if you value your time as worthless
That's how i decide if im taking something to the mechanic or not. Gotta remove the exhaust headers just to reach the starter, then figure out how to physically remove it and put the new one in vs $350 and probably be ready by end of day. $2k for a new clutch or 16 hrs cursing, busting knuckles because you got almost a meter of extensions to reach the top 3 bolts. About 6 hrs were spent just laying on the floor crying, contemplating insurance fraud, murder of the engineer who designed it, or cursing my lot in life.

The Stars program was still going at the time, so I got enough points to get a $10 gift card from the achievements. 🤷♂️
This is me with MMOs. "surely, after I buy this expansion, it's going to be fun". No idea why I fell for it several times.
I'll stick to reading 1d6chan rundowns of 40k lore, thanks
There’s a crap ton of duplicates?
Seems so: 2 are doublets and 5 are triplets (if I've counted correctly)

Me after watching one piece
I'm currently listening through the entire Horus Heresy in order, only skipped Battle for the Abyss after listening through half of it. I'm currently halfway through Deathfire, and I'm VERY close to just skip this one as well. I just can't stand Nick Kyme's writing, nor his take on the Salamanders.
I read pretty much all of the novels of Robert Rankin a couple of years ago. I kinda broke my brain a bit and it took me a good year before I could bring myself to read novels again. I think small doses is a better way to read his stuff.
