Metro 2033 and Metro 2034 by Dmitry Glukhovsky. If you played the games, you will know the rough story of thenfirst book, but the books are vastly different from the games and thus worth a read. Strange in places, really.
Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The book on which the Stalker games are based. Very strange book, but fascinating in any case.
A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R. R. Martin. Even if you watch the series, you should read the books. They are so much richer than the series, it makes the TV adaptation seem like a weak reflection. The amount of symbolism and hints is stunning, if you read it carefully, you will pick up tons of hints about future events, or will be able to tell who dies by the foood they are eating, or the colors of their Banner. Not to mention the actual background, the song of ice and fire, which is a core of the book series and totally absent in the TV version.
All You Need Is Kill, by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. This book is the basis for the movie "Edge of Tomorrow ". The story is similar, but not quite the same, and deviates from the movie substantially in the servos half (and had a completely different explanation and ending).Â
