There are several plot lines going on. Each plot line tends to be
supported on its own, though (you don't have to worry too much
about a plot line you haven't read interfering with the one you're
reading).

So here are the major plot lines that I can think of:
Bugs: Bug City, Target: UCAS, a couple of novels (Burning Bright?),
a couple of adventures.

The Enemy (Horrors): Harlequin's Back, Worlds Without End, Dragonheart
Saga (Stranger Souls, Clockwork Asylum, Beyond the Pale)

Dunklezahn's Assassination: Portfolio of a Dragon: Dunklezahn's
Secrets, the Dragonheart Saga (yes, the exception makes the rule)

Corp war: Dunklezahn's Secrets (just some background info), Blood in
the Boardroom and a couple more books not yet released.

What did I miss? Oh yeah:

Otaku: VR2, Technobabel, Blood in the Boardroom (background), Renraku:
Shutdown (release in May)

I haven't read most of the novels (I've only read the Dragonheart Saga
actually), so I may be totally wrong on those fronts.

I've also probably missed a couple of other plots, but...
