I've not actually read The Lives of Dax, but I am primarily into the Deep Space Nine relaunch novels. If you're a DS9 fan, I'd highly recommend picking up where the tv series left off with Avatar books 1 and 2 onward. I'm currently working my way through the Worlds of Deep Space Nine series and as a whole they have been really enjoyable - the trill backstory was brilliant, with the Andor story being my favourite.

Having read 90% of the books released set in the Post-DS9/Voyager TV era, I would put a very strong Astrix on that "You can pick a book and go" statement.
Yes, the authors do put some background information in, but that information is only a brief summary at best, brief mention or nothing at all at worst.
For TNG, while the "Time" series is a great read, only the last two or three novels in the series I would consider 'must reads', as those books set the political stage for "Articles of the Federation" which is a absolute must read since it esentially sets the stage for pretty much all the books to come (with the exception of the post-destiny Voyager novels).
From that book forward, you can jump into the Titan books which you can read independently of the others until Sword of Damocles.
All the TNG novels can be read concurrently as well up until Greater than the Sum, at wich point along with Sword of Damocles, you move on to the Destiny Trilogy.
As for DS9, most of the Pre-Destiny novels can be skipped, but reading Mission Gamma sets the stage for a major political event that comes Post Destiny (Paths of Disharmony).
Voyager is largely a stand alone series with only one cross-over novel, Full Circle. Kristen Beyer has done a good job on the series thus far, if you like 'wish fulfilment' story lines like at the end of Eternal Tide...
New Frontier... well... I have a lot of respect for Peter David, he's a great author, I love his work on Spider-Man, but he's just not a great trek author, with notable exceptions like Imzadi and Imzadi II. That series can largely be skipped as none of the novels impact any of the other series'. His one contribution to the recent novel series', Before Dishonor, was one of the weakest novels that was part of the lead up to the Destiny Trilogy.

Dudes, this is amazing. I was just going to start a thread asking about all this and everything's been answered.
I've barely read any of them. I read Fury, Temporal Investigations, and I'm now reading Greater than the Sum, all of which I'm really into. I fell asleep during Paths of Disharmony haha There was another TNG novel I tried reading but I felt they had the TNG personalities all wrong and it drove me crazy. I feel Picard is really hard to write for.
Thanks again, that's really cool.
And, which novels feature a lot of time travel?
I was hoping the new Discovery was going to be something like ST: Temporal Investigations and they'd just time travel through new plots and the TV series.

Is there a chart that includes dates or that is in chronological order?

I haven't seen a recent chart/list with the books in chronological order - I am keeping an eye out though!
The only one I can pass on is HERE, its an old list, and the layout is ancient but it may be of interest.
