	How about the Chronicles of Amber by Zelazny?  That's an
interesting treatmest of the alternamte worlds idea.  For those who
haven't read it, this presents the idea that all worlds are but
shadows of the real world of Amber.  The narrator is Corwin, one of
the princes of Amber.  He and all those of the royal blood have the
power, granted them through something called the Pattern, of "walking"
from one world to another by simply imagining where they want to go,
and then making their surroundings correspond with their desires.  But
if I say anymore, it might spoil the story for someone, so I'll end
here.
