The books I associate most with second person writing are those 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books...I don't see quite as many of them around now, but when I was a kid, I loved to read those sort of books. The Lone Wolf series by Joe Dover I believe was definitely the best of them...it was really involved with stats and abilities and it was a looooong series (20+...?), so the choices you made early on affected later books...
On to present tense...the latest book I read that had present tense was Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, written in third person present time...a cool action/cyberpunk story, I really liked the use of present tense in the story because it made everything happen NOW and gave the story a better pacing than if it were in past tense. Definitely recommended for any fans of darker fiction.
I meant to write about the pizza meeting sooner, but got caught up with writing and watching many many hours of the first season of 24...there are definitely quite a few twists and turns that come out of nowhere, but sometimes when I'm watching it, I'd go, 'I could write a better scene than that.'
But overall, very well done in my opinion, I can't wait to watch the new season of it.
Anyways, I cut my ranting short here and get back to dozing...lates all :)
