You are!

I can only RECOMMEND the Sin War book series. It deals with the whole stuff that is referenced in the game (Sanctuary, The Sin War itself, Angels, Demons, Lillith, Inarius, etc.), that can be found in the Lore Books in Act 4.

It's really an amazing read, not expensive and also not that long.

In addition to that, it would be a great preperation for Reaper of Souls, as Tyrael and Malthael are also mentioned in the books!

Book 1 - Birthright

Book 2 - Scales of the Serpent

Book 3 - The Veiled Prophet


They really are an amazing read! Also check out Storm of Light , the Bridge-Book to explain what happened after Diablo 3 and before Reaper of Souls!

Diablo: Book Of Cain is an excellent summary of the lore of the Diablo series. It also sets the stage for Diablo III very well. It's written from Deckard Cain's perspective as a sort of compendium of Horadric knowledge, as well as tales from other scholars and scribes that he has sought in his lifetime.

Some of the wiki pages you can find on the 'net are pretty good but you have to remember that they're written by people interpreting things they've seen or read and are not always absolutely canon.

The novels are pretty good but they mostly don't really relate to the games themselves. The Sin War trilogy is probably my favourite story set in Sanctuary.

I don't really think there was a lot of story in the older Diablo games, especially if you didn't go looking really really hard for it. A lot of the things referred to in D3 are detailed much more in the book series, though, in addition to the Books of Cain and Tyrael, which I see you've already been referred to.

First, the Warcraft universe wasn't always like that, it started as a series of RTS games and Blizzard was already publishing books to complement the game's story by then, like The Last Guardian, published three years before the MMORPG was released. Second, that's not something Blizzard does exclusively to the Warcraft universe, there are Starcraft - I, Mengsk - and Diablo - Birthright - books too. So yeah, if you want to have the complete picture of the lore in Blizzard games you HAVE to buy books.
