Last time I was at the book store, I picked up:

Dr. Sax by Jack Kerouac
Girls by Frederick Busch
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

I haven't had time to read any of them, with school work and all. I'll probably start one next week sometime...

Like "Choose your own Adventure"? I've read a few but don't have any currently myself. Tynstar here on this forum has a dozen or so I believe.

Well... I've got a complete set of 1st edition Fighting Fantasy books (all 59 of 'em) plus most of the spin-offs such as Sorcery! and AFF.  Does that count? Tongue

I've got all of the American Version Lone Wolf gamebooks, a bunch of choose your own adventure books, and a fairly large assortment of other random gamebooks. Lone Wolf is the best of its type, in my opinion, as choose your own adventure books tend to be boring. I was a big fan of the Grailquest series as well, they rival Lone Wolf in gameplay and content, but I could never find many of them.

I've got all but 3 of the Fighting Fantasy books, original edition. Plus the AFF series as well.

All of the Way of the Tiger series.

And I just got I think 11 of the Lone Wolf books as well, due to arrive next week. Can't wait for those.

Pretty cool Lone Wolf community at http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Home

They've actually put a large amount of the gamebooks online.

Yeah, I know. But I prefer the paper version, for old time's sake. I'm going for, I think up to book 18.

Plus it fits well with my FF collection.

I agree, paper is supreme. Can go up to 20 cheap, then you get into the ones impossible to find.
