I loved those books and I had a system for reading them. Each time I had to make a decision that involved me jumping to one page or another, I would fold the corner of the page. Each time I hit an endpoint, I would travel back to a folded page and then make a new decision to see where it would take me.

Funny how memory works. I don't think I've recalled my system for reading these books for years, perhaps more than a decade.




I did the same exact thing, or left fingers stuck in all the choice pages. Maybe that's why recursion came easy to me years later in my early programming classes.
