/lit/ - Literature

What do you think of experimental lit?
I'm not talking about the writing itself, exactly (but it can be that, too), but how it's presented to the consumer.

I've recently gotten into interactive AR games and webseries and I think they're fascinating because of the presentation and the multimedia interactivity.

_9Mother9Horse9Eyes9 did this with the interface series, and I think it's absolutely fascinating. Regardless of the quality of the work, transcending a standard medium to directly involve the reader in the experience of the book is sheer genius and requires huge dedication and complex planning.

How do you feel about things like this? Have other books done something like that (War of the Worlds might be the first example)? Do you think that it's a valid branching of the medium, or do you think it would dilute the quality of the work itself?

Would you do things like that?

Thoughts? Ideas?

ITT: Things you read as a kid that confused the fuck out of you for a long time

as well read kids shit sometimes gets lost in translation, especially if you're reading by yourself and have to figure half the shit out by yourself.

1: When I was in 1st grade, I thought a lowercase g (the one that looks like an 8) was a different letter that nobody had told me about.
2: I had no idea what a coon was. In wilderness stories, they always talked about skinning coons and stripped fur, but I knew that coons were a type of bird. nobody fucking explained that shit to me either.
