Where to begin...

The only overlap between the TNG and TTN books is chronological; they're independent storywise. I'd actually recommend reading TTN, then TNG, then Destiny, since the TNG books lead more directly into the trilogy than the TTN books do.

But the basic chronological order for the TNG and TTN books is:

TNG: Death in Winter
TTN: Taking Wing
TTN: The Red King
TTN: Orion's Hounds
TNG: Resistance
TNG: Q&A
TNG: Before Dishonor
TTN: Sword of Damocles
TNG: Greater Than the Sum
Destiny
 
^ Wouldn't hurt (though you're fine without it) if you toss Articles of the Federation in there. Read it after The Red King....
 
^^Yeah, well, you know me -- if I'd included AotF, I would've felt the need to break down its chapters chronologically by which books they fell between. (Come to think of it, didn't you post such a chronology just a week or two ago in another thread?)
 
Chicken Pug-I know that if I'm reading a series(like A Time To..., or Titan) I like to take a break and change things up. If you also do this sort of thing-try the Khan books by Greg Cox or one of the older novels like Strangers In The Sky or The Final Reflection. They are all great stories and will take you far enough away from the Relaunch books to give you a breather...

Or if you are a TNG fan, the collection of small stories called 'The Sky's The Limit' contains some nice little chestnuts to wrap up loose ends from the series. I also enjoyed 'The Dominion War' collection.
 
Gift cards where the theme for Christmas this year. Pretty much bought the majority of the suggestions. Looking forward to settling in and catching up on all this reading.

If I read TTN: Sword of Damocles before Resistance / Q&A / Before Dishonor, will it contain any spoilers for those books?

Not even remotely. Titan's mission takes it far out into uncharted space, far removed from what's going on back in the Federation.

Cool. That's kind of what I hoped, but I thought that maybe Riker could've got a subspace message telling him about all the crazy awesome stuff happening back on the Enterprise.

My plan was to read all the Post-nemesis books in chronological order, so I started with Death in Winter, then the first three TTN books. But right now I'm enjoying the Titan series so much that I think I'm going to finish it before moving on to TNG.

Well, but even if that were the case... you know Riker isn't going to know more details about the crazy awesome Enterprise adventures than what is in the letter, so how could you, the reader, be expected/required to know more? That's just not how the books are written.
