There was a time that I read a lot books based on the Magic: the Gathering cardgame. Most weren't very good, though. Jeff Grubb's books were genrally excellent and Scott McGough and J. Robert King had both some good and some bad stuff set in the MtG universe.
There was also this trilogy based on Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri that I've read. That wasn't very good. So one day I decided to stop read tie-in novels for a while. (Although I am curious about the long out of print King's Quest-based trilogy.)
EDIT: I'm almost halfway through The Count of Monte Cristo now. It's a real book of its time - there's a lot of good stuff in there, but also long sections where you keep wondering where the heck the plot is going, like the lengthy section about the carnival in Rome.
