Hi all

When I was a kid I really liked the "Choose your own adventure" books.

I heard a piece on the radio a few weeks ago, someone was talking about them, and that there is a whole genre of books for grown-ups like these.

They are apparently called "Interactive Fiction". I've had a look around online, but can't find any sources where to buy these kind of books.

I've checked Waterstones in the real world, and they looked at me like I had two heads.

Amazon is also not giving up any results, strangely. The results I have got on there have been about how to write these kinds of books, or about the text adventure computer games from the 1980s.

Anyone got any ideas or recommendations for these kinds of books?

Thanks
