You May Enjoy This List of Books Written in the Second Person
You find yourself inextricably drawn to this article--will it
mention your favorite example? You must know!

This little one has read 2/4 listed, but has read most of the others mentioned in the
reader responses (_Molly Zero_ did become tiring after a while).
Via "Second-person narrative: a bibliography", is it the earliest SFnal
example? Ralph Milne Farley's _The House of Ecstacy_ (1938), which starts,
'This actually happened to you. And when I say "you", I mean you - now reading these very words.
For I know something about you - something deeply personal - something which, however, I am afraid
that you have forgotten.' Only a short story but.
Cheers, David Duffy.
