Choose Your Own Adventure Books Return 199
KermodeBear writes "Eight of the original 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books are to be republished this summer. From the Article: 'First published in 1979, the books let readers remix their own stories - and face the consequences. [...] the original titles return to bookstores, revamped with 21st-century references (cell phones!).'" For me, it's all about 1987's Space Vampire , by series originator Edward Packard. "Do you eject the vampire through the airlock?"

The title of the parchement was XL. So you turned to page 40 (XL in roman numerals.)
Oh God! I feel so... released! Like an annoying background noise that you'd forgotten was there had just stopped.
