Commented on Map of choose your own adventure book
There's also a cool Borges short story where he writes of a story with nine different beginnings, that slowly combine three different middles, and the same ending. I don't know that one... anyone have a title? I'd love to read...

Also, anyone interested in writing an adult CYOA book should check out Kim Newman's Life's Lottery, which is an interesting attempt to do just that. (Not that there's not room for more, mind...) I think it was only published in...

After a certain age, I actually mapped most CYOA books, so I could efficiently "mine" them of content as quickly as possible. I also remember the hidden "good" ending in "Inside UFO 54-40," though I can't remember how I found it seeing as I was methodically mapping the stories. I particularly liked the fact that that ending was logically consistant with the plot of the story. I barely remember the plot, but at least once, people refered to Ultima as being findable only when you weren't looking for it. And sure enough, when you find that ending it begins with...
