If you're an MTG fan looking to get into the lore but only want to read one book, make it The Thran. If you're willing to read two, read The Brothers War and then The Thran.

If you're really willing to stick it out then don't read The Thran until you get to the Apocalypse cycle. Be warned however, the books drop in quality as time goes on. Urza is always a fun and quirky character to see what mischief he gets up to as they go on, but you'd be better off just reading about it on a Wiki.
