Choose Your Own Adventure Books

What a great idea they were. I never liked reading, but these were the only books I would actually sit down and read. The idea was fairly basic. You would start reading and at the end of a passage you would be given a choice of what you would like to do next in the story. You would then turn to a specific page depending upon what you had chosen. There were endless possibilities (OK, yes there were only a certain number of possibilities, but as a kid, you though that no matter how many times you read the book, each adventure would be different).
As far as I know, such books don’t exist any more. Perhaps it’s because kids these days (oh god! Did I just say that!!!???) are more interested in computer games than reading books. Shame really.
