Some of these books are actually pretty fair if played by the rules. |

Hard to say since most people's favourites are books that they can also win by the rules.
I would probably include Black Vein Prophecy and Knights of Doom in my list though as those are regarded as unfair or too difficult by the rules.

Does he always turn to 357 as his first decision in House of Hell?

I always appreciated the idea of a weak man becoming strong without loosing his weakness. |

Interestingly enough all of my top 10 are different in a way, here they are and why
1st is Appointment With FEAR -set in a version of the modern world that has Super-Powers
2nd is Rings of Kether -Sci-Fii but the main reason is you get to play A Narcotics Cop
3rd is Robot Commando -again Sci-Fii but the main reason is that you get to single-handely save your homeland
4th is Rebel Planet -yet again Sci-Fii but the main reason is that you get to almost single-handely save the human-race
5th is Armies of Death -you command A Army
6th is Legend of Zagor -cos its 1 of only 2 Books in the entire series that I beat on my 1st playthrough without cheating, using a guide or getting advise from someone I knew
7th is Spellbreaker -only 1 were you winning a fight means that you can't win
8th is Forest of Doom -if you fail to get both parts of the hammer you can restart from the beginning, potentially many times
9th is Masks of Mayhem -only 1 were you start out as some-kind of Ruler
10th is Eye of The Dragon -its the only 1 set in Titan were 1 of The Enemies is A Hell-Deamon
