Is there a list of all Halo-related reading?

Question

As a fan of the Halo games and its lore I was thinking about getting all of the books or comics that are a part of the Halo lore.

I was wondering if anyone had a full list of all the books related to Halo's lore.

Also if the list can be put in chronological order that would be greatly appreciated.
