I am rather fond of the small series of books that spun off of the computer games Myst, Riven: The Sequel to Myst and Myst III: Exile. The first one, Myst: The Book of Atrus is a spectacularly written novel, enjoyable even if you haven't the foggiest idea what the games are about. The authors paint vivid pictures in your mind and come up with astoundingly original metphors and simlies, comparing silk to the underside of a leaf or seeing the reflection of stars in a pool to "swimming in the sky". You care very deeply for the characters, even the "evil" ones (such as Gehn), as they are shown to have soft spots just like everyone else.
Okay, I'm done rambling now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
