I still have over half of these titles, and my kids have now enjoyed them too. I remember finding that 'easter egg' ending when I read UFO 54-40 while in junior high school, and being fairly impressed with the message behind it. meep the rules.

I remember one involving a time machine, and at one point you ended up transporting yourself so far back you predate the landmass you were standing on, and are now adrift in the middle of a huge ocean, and of course you are sad little sharkfood.

It haunted me ever since, time machine in my actual possession or no.

Classics.

Used to read these to my son when he was two (in his 30's now), letting him pick at each node. I still believe between these books and the Dr. Suess, CYOA is the batch that had him reading alone by three.

I too had a massive collection of these. I kept lugging them around age 18-20, until, on purpose, I left the boxes of these books behind when moving to a new place.

<blink>METAPHOR FOR CHILDHOOD</blink>

I feel deprived. All I ever had was old fashioned linear books. I want 'A Wrinkle in Time (directors cut with alternative ending) and Old Yeller (lives!).

My girl caught me blowing my meep with the air dryer, and asked what I was doing? Apparently "heating your dinner" wasn't a good answer.
