Right. From my point of view. Books are EXACTLY like videogames. (that is, if you like fiction). They are means of escapism They provide another temporary reality where you can laugh and cry with someones else's stories. The real difference is that videogames are bit more interactive and provide you with a visual and kickass soundtrack and a way of keeping score but, more often then not, lack an actually good storyline. The amount of info they throw at you will cancel out a lot of the imagination needed to read a good book. If you like games who are good because of their story line rather then their graphics (like a LOT of japanese RPGs but also games like The Witcher or Assassins Creed) you will find surely find books that, in one way or another, float your boat. If you are more into FPS you might find it a bit harder to find something you like but even then I imagine there is something out there. Gunslinger books enough, but then again, no personal highscore. If you are more into the MMORGPs well, then you are a lost case but then I do not want to hear you complaining about tediousness either Just,... GRIND yourself through them Luck for all the gamers is that most of the new books follow the same gritter/darker/faster trend that games have been following the last 10 or so years ^.^ So if you are interested in that bit of gaming then there is more then enough to read ^.^
