Or even some of our more modern fiction by Tolkien and even JK Rowling: unlike games, they take imagination to make them work.
Imagination is what makes games fun after you've beaten them. I see what you're saying but books require very little hand-eye coordination and unless you're into books about heuristics, can do little to teach problem solving of any sort.
