Game that you could read a book to while playing?

Civilization IV/V. The problem with it is that a good game lasts some days then xD

RPG, turn based games, TD games or story games
Simulation is a hit or miss, if it's kerbal then you can't eead a book while flying a spacecraft unless you are super leet on maneuver nodes. Simulation that you can do is probbly simcity or roler coaster tycoon.

Suggestions:
Underrail
Incognita
Agarest
Final Fantasy
Last remnant
Civ 5
Anomaly 2 or warzone earth
Deponia games
Cognition

Any round based game or game that is able to pause.

Any Adventure (from Daedalic for example)

Some puzzle games (Braid, Bridge, Toki Tori,...)

Tower Defense games (Defense Grid, iBomber Series,...)

Indie Game: The Movie.

Rome II total war,
Supreme Commander (not the 2nd),
Cities in Motion,
Mount & Blade (sort of, just keep a close eye out),
Crusader Kings II

I tend to read while playing these in particular.

Super Hexagon

Metro 2033 written by some russian lad
and the game Metro 2033?

If you divide your attention between too many things, you won't get full enjoyment out of any. It's the conundrum where you fill your day with activities and are rushing between them to make it all in time. Your need to make it to each corrupts your initial plan in the end; to enjoy yourself.

Frozen Synapse

End your book and play for hours straights.

Any kind of turn based game like Heroes of Might and Magic (especially HOMAM V where is bugged AI turn timer), Civilization (but not at beginning), or something like Simcity or TTD where you have to wait for money when you play on hard ;)

None that I know of, I dont think games have gained sentience, yet.

Cookie Clicker

Poker Night 1 & 2?

Other strategy, RPG, or board games that are turn-based.

Or, you could listen to an audiobook.
