I used to love these books as a kid. I got really proficient at using multiple fingers to manage all my "Save States" while I was going through the adventure.

As an adult I spent a lot of time thinking about how I seem to have the same rough success ratio at making life decisions as I did when I was a child reading choose-your-own-adventure books.

I would always make the bad decisions (i.e. the ones that killed the character and ended the path) right away so that I wouldn't have to use as many fingers
