Figure 1: So there's this writer Julio Cortázar from Argentina, who wrote this novel Rayuela (graciously translated into english as Hopscotch) that (to paraphrase from memory from its introductory instruction sheet) "is many books but is mainly two books. The reader is invited to CHOOSE between these two routes. You can read is as you would a regular book, starting on chapter one, and continue in an orderly fashion, in which case the book ends neatly at chapter 56 [i.e. at the end of section two]. Alternatively, you can start on chapter 73 and hop back and forth according to the list below" [i.e. the diagram above (Montanez, 2006)]
Now go read, you philistines, it's good for you.
