I got plenty more. But these are good places to start. If you like one race in particular over others, let me know and I can recommend some race specific books for you.

Just read Archaon: Everchosen two weeks ago. Good stuff. Also, read the first two books in the The Empire Omnibus, also fun stuff.

There are many cool books:

The sigmar omnibus for the story of sigmar

Then there is the sundering series which tells the story why there are high & dark elves.

The war of the beard series about why the elves and the dwarves hate each other.

The tyrion and teclis triology for some elf action and also the backstory of the two high elf LL's

The gotrek and felix series for general warhammer stuff.

The thanquol series for skaven

The nagash omnibus for the backstory of the guy who's responsible for the undead in this setting.

The vampire wars omnibus for the backstory of vlad von carstein

Then there are ofcourse the armybooks, the three heraldry books (empire, skaven, helf) the liber chaotica, of the skaven and all their vile kin, the life of sigmar and a billion other super awesome books.

One word of advice tho is.. stay the hell away from the endtimes!
