Looking for a book to read

[Ryukouki]

"The Imjin War- Japan's Sixteenth Century invasion of Korea" by Sam Hawley.

You should give "The Witcher" saga a try. Written by Andrzej Sapkowski, he is a very popular novelist in Poland. If you'd like to see the universe he's created before taking a book into hands or grabbing an ebook, then try out the computer game (which is also good, but not as good as the books).

It consists of 7 parts so there's a lot to read. Two of them are collections of short stories, and the rest form the main plot. There is everything a good fantasy book should have: interesting characters, dragons and other monsters, wizards, sword-killing and the most important element that makes you don't want to stop reading - great, bawdy sense of humor

.

Try it out if you want, as far as I'm concerned, the book was translated to other languages, English as well.

Are they by any chance books that the games are based on?

Very likely, yes. Still, like usually, the books are better than the movie/games/comics

The storyline of the game is tightly connected to the books. There are many references to the events and characters mentioned in the saga, as the games (also the second part, "The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings" having its premiere in may 2011) are the continuation of original plot, approved by the author.
