Choose your own post

Things are a little too pat at this point...life a little too linear...each book I pick up seems to have the same thing happening: the stuff at the front of the book happens before the stuff at the end of the book.

It's lame.

It's predictable.

Heck, it even happens in most of my comic books: early stuff comes before late stuff.

What we need now is a good Choose Your Own Adventure.

Luckily a bunch of websites have given us a chance to relive those glory days of misspent, friendless youth spent hanging out in your room. Check out Wired's Choose Your Own Article or the semi-self created Create Your Own Adventure or the Infinite-Story engine or the Never Ending Tale.

And McSweeney's misses them, too.
