Choose Your Own Adventure Returns
So, what’ll it be? After a generation out of print, the original Choose Your Own Adventure series is back. First published in 1979, the books let readers remix their own stories – and face the consequences. A quarter-billion copies sold worldwide as kids raced to discover lost civilizations, navigate black holes, and go in search of … the Yeti. This summer, eight of the original titles return to bookstores, revamped with 21st-century references (cell phones!). Will they become popular again?
I LOVED these books as a child! I'm glad to see they are making a comeback. They are so much fun!

yay! I *loved* those books, too! I think I still have my old set of them at my mom's house somewhere!

I know Jamison read a few of them when he was young. Has he given up on reading any thing but RPG's?

He reads a little bit of everything. We're always reading something.

I found our old ones at Mom's house this weekend. (well, some of them anyway - I thought we had more than I found . . . ) :) I'm glad to hear that they are re-publishing them, though. :)
