For example:
The martian: an astronaut is stuck on mars, how does he survive?
World war z: what if the zombie apocalypse actually happened and a journalist went around interviewing people involved?
The toaster project: guy trying to make a toaster completely from scratch
Dungeon crawler carl: a guy is stuck in an DnD-like rpg situation
I like books where the scenario is just this inherently fun/interesting thing, and the book executes well on it.
