    When I was like 7 my mom bought me a choose your own adventure book. I tried to read it cover to cover and was very confused.

      So if you read it cover to cover, what did you think the instructions were about? What about the “turn to page X” parts?

      I’m not judging - this is exactly the sort of oblivious thing I would’ve done as a kid too - but I’m curious how it happened.

      • I specifically remember doing this with one of the goosebumps choose your own adventure. There was a good ending page that referenced nirvana (the idea not the band) and I read that thing end to end choosing both choices for everything. No page ever sent you to it. It was just a contrivance that you were sent to glance at while flipping through.
