Okay, two questions:
1) Did anyone else here love the buggery out of these "if x, turn to page y" stories when they were kids, or still do?
2) Would you participate in one, here at EP, if I (or someone else) wrote one up? It would probably be a collective choice thing, with whoever posted a response first making the choice on behalf of the players. (So, situation Z is presented, and people choose option A or option B, as applicable)

/puts hand up.
Though, I was rather young when I played most of them (mostly the
Fighting Fantasy series) and I tended to have heaps and heaps of bookmarks so I could see the situation with every decision.

I would if I got the time and maybe depending on the amount of text.
I did one a very long time ago, though it's not like one of those books, rather more of a visual novel type thing. If you're interested:

Same here, i even go and read them again from time to time.
my teacher in grade school was advised us to read the Choose your own adventure stories, ive remembered there are lots of these in our local bookstore, ive owned a choose your own adventure with the alien encounter story, the book style is like more of a text rpg which you will choose what path is good for you, nice alternative for old days who does not own a gameboy
