Choose Your Own Adventure
As a kid, I used to love the Choose Your Own Adventure books. Did anyone else here like them? What were your favorite ones?

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

I just bought those for my niece! I know she will love them like I did as a kid!
I got the VERY first one when I was in grade school - the Cave of Time.
I loved it but MAN there were too many paths where you DIED suddenly with no warning!

Yeah, I loved these!
Hmm... I can't quite remember all of the ones I read, but I think there was one titled 'You're a monster!' one I quite liked. Something about a science experiment going wrong on you.
Another one I liked was one where you were taking part in a shrinking experiment... I guess I like the sciencey ones. ^_^ Actually, I think all of the ones I read had a sci-fi/sciencey element to them.
Me, I'd sorta cheat. I'd keep my fingers stuck in the pages with the decisions I'd just made, then check my decision to see if I died or not.
If so, then I'd go back to that place and make a different decision. Also, I also liked to read through them and find out all the different endings you could possibly get.

I did the same as Photosoph - read through all the different endings before I started. Then I'd find out how the story got there.
Some of the choose your own adventure seemed boring to me, but there were some very good ones. They used to be incredibly popular when I was in primary school (that's the equivalent of grade school in the States?).

I've been trying to remember what those books were called! Thank you.
I loved those books in middle school. I was a bit of a cheater with them too, marking the decision page and checking out all the options to make sure I didn't die in one.

I used to read those things all the time in grade school. I remember one in particular where you become different animals. Guess what happens when you become a mosquito?

I had a few of the Goosebump ones (Choose your own Goosebumps) and then this Jurassic Park: Lost World one which is like the fantasy fighting books... They were fun books. My favorite one I had was this "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" one. It came with "suspect" cards and "item" cards with info on the back and as you read the story clues would be dropped as to where you should go next or who you should see next. You could look at the cards to help you about certain locations or which suspect you were going after. I was so excited when I finally caught Carmen =P
