[log in to unmask]">I can see that the "CYOA" type books would be ideally suited for second-present, since they sort of recreate a text-based video game on the written page. In fact, I don't see how they could really be done any other way. On the other hand, that supports my contention that 2d-present is limited, in a way, to special niches and experimental works, doesn't it?The books I associate most with second person writing are those 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books...
[log in to unmask]">Funny. I read and really enjoyed Snow Crash several years ago -- and I couldn't have told you that it was in 3d-present. Either the book didn't make as much an impression as I thought, or the voice was so suited to the story that it didn't/doesn't stand out as unusual. Hmmm.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...
