I still have the Star Trek book done like that at my parent's house- I know exactly where it is.

I think I've had it since 3rd grade or so.

My mother managed a book store, so I had just about every one you could imagine when I was a kid.  I used to love them, although going back and reading a few some of the choices and solutions wern't very plausible, but hey... it was fun. :D

Possibly because letters had yet to be invented. ;D

Yes, as well as the gamebooks.  I read the Rangers of Taradoin which was released in the past 5 years...

Lone Wolf which was released in the past 10 years...

and some of the Fighting Fantasy books.

I never really cared for the writing in the Choose your own adventure series...

But on the otherhand I found some books in a Second Hand bookstore called Endless Quest by TSR, which had several which completely rocked!  There was The Pillars Of Pentegarn, Return to Brookmire, Mountain of Mirrors, Dungeon of Dread, and my personal favorite of the series...Dragon of Doom.

Summum ius summa iniuria.

The more law, the less justice.

Cicero, De Officiis, I, 33

"It doesn't, and you can't, I won't, and it don't
it hasn't, it isn't, it even ain't, and it shouldn't
it couldn't"
FZ, 1974

My chops were not as fast...[but] I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops.  I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes.
