I am currently playing Portal 2 mixed with Mortal Kombat 9, back and forth between the two, and I must say I love them both.
As for books, I've been reading random works of H.P. Lovecraft (By random, I mean I just read whichever stories sound good to me at the moment). He wins 2 awards from me:
#1 is for actually understanding that what you see isn't as scary as what you don't, and being purposefully vague in descriptions allowing readers to draw from their own fears to mentally render the eldritch beasts and cities at hand.
#2 is for having one of the greatest poker faces of all time.
