Funny how you should pick out Splinter of the Minds Eye as your pictogram for the post. I remember buying it when it was first published and shortly thereafter noticed Foster's penchant for novelizations. I loved them all at the time. It was easy reading for an established setting so you pretty much knew exactly what kind of story was going to take place with familiar characters and places, while at the same time getting something new.
I can't say I look for novelizations all that much these days. X-Files novels were an exception however and I wish there were even more of those around. I've also got a few BTVS (Buffy) novels I picked up that I'd like to read. Again to hopefully recapture some of the 'good times' of the TV series.
