I found a book written in 2nd person!
It's called "Black Holes: A Traveler's Guide". I was looking for books on black holes and picked this one up. However I realized it was fiction. When I read a page, it was in 2nd person!
Discuss anything written in second person.

Re: I found a book written in 2nd person!
A year or two ago we had to read a second person story about a hike in the woods with some stranger for school. Apparently, "you" save his life on many occasions and teach him important lessons about life and cooperation.

Re: I found a book written in 2nd person!
I was going to write a story in second person.
But then I wrote it in 1st person.

Second person? Hahaha.
I see second person all the time. When I watch Portal 2 videos.
If FPS playable characters were real, whenever they played the game they came from, it would be in second person....... for them.

Re: I found a book written in 2nd person!
I've seen plenty, but the rare thing is something entirely in second person.
However, many famous books (Such as Series of Unfortunate Events) commonly address the reader and identify with them.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Being in first person can be easier to understand, although it takes quite some skill to write a story in second person.

I never said it wouldn't take skill, I was just saying I find them quite annoying. I still appreciate second person books though, because I know how hard they are to write.
