Also, way to go on reading all this small print! Lots of readers just skip over it (they think its boring), but its nice to see that you, for one, are getting your moneys worth out of this book by reading every single word it contains. In thanks, here are some special words just for you that wont appear anywhere else in this book: callipygian, saudade, and mamihlapinatapei. Look at those words! Those are some quality words, and everyone else who picked up this book is missing out.

This is a work of fiction. Actually, its a book containing a work of fiction, but you get the idea. Incidentally, did someone file this book in the Choose Ones Own Nonfiction Adventure section? Bad news on that front, friend: names, characters, places, and incidents in this work either are the product of the authors imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, businesses, companies, events, or locales is entirely coincidental!

For Mom and/or Dad
A man can die but once.
William Shakespeare, Henry IV
Devine, si tu peux, et choisis, si tu loses.
Pierre Corneille, Hrachlius
Dont read this book like a regular book! Youll get confused and angry.
This is a choose-your-own path kind of book, which means that at the end of each node, youll either die and the story will be over and you should start over, or youll have a choice of what to do next.
Your reader also has a back button (either a physical button on the device or one that appears on the screen). This button returns you to the page you just came from, which is insanely useful whenever you want to take a move back!
Okay, I think were ready. Lets make our first choice:
Dont just go to the next page: when you see that horizontal line, you need to make a choice or start over! Otherwise everything will be ruined forever.
Press the back button to go back to the previous page: this time, follow the link instead and everything will be perfect!
You can also just follow this link instead:
I told you not to go to the next page and you did it anyway? Okay, fine, WHATEVER. Ignore my instructions to follow links and just flip through this book linearly. SEE IF I CARE.
You know, its not too late. You can still start over and do this correctly.
I dont understand what youre trying to prove.
Please. You can still pull this out:
HAHA, ITS TOTALLY TRUE!!
EVERYONE, MAKE FUN OF THE PERSON READING THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW.
AND CONTINUE DOING IT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
As we now know, William Shakespeare (1564 ADwhenever he died) was well known for borrowing from existing literature when writing his plays. Our previous publication, To Be or Not To Be: That Is The Adventure, firmly established that the award-winning play Hamlet (I know, turns out there are awards for plays) was lifted wholesale from that recently rediscovered text. We suggested, then, that To Be or Not To Be was both the earliest example of the book as game genre, as well as the first instance ever in the then-newish English language that was kicking around of an adventure being chosen by YOU, the reader.
We were wrong.
THIS book, which you are now about to enjoy, really IS that earliest example of nonlinear second-person narratives that are more fun than they sound. We did some more research. Its true this time.
When Shakespeare sat down to write Romeo and Juliet, he had a choice: he could make up his own story, or he could flip through this book, Romeo and/or Juliet, and just stone-cold copy down what he read. As we now know, he chose the latter. This book he plagiarized from was lost until recently, when I found it again. It was just over there. Someone had put a coat over it, which I think is why we didnt notice it earlier.
Romeo and/or Juliet is presented here with the original text, unaltered from when Shakespeare stole it. All weve added are some rad illustrations, and we also put adorable little hearts next to the choices Shakespeare made when plagiarizing this book. That way if you follow that path when you make a choice, youll get the same play that Shakespeare ended up with! However, that is not the only story in this book, and honestly, a lot of the others are way better. Feel free to explore your other options, as there are over 46,012,475,909,287,476 distinct adventures contained within this book! Though, to be fair, after the first quintillion a lot of them are probably going to seem pretty familiar.
Now, prepare yourself for whats called the greatest love story ever told for some reason. Gingerly place your emotions into the front car of the roller coaster. Strap them in tight. Kiss them on the forehead and tell them you love them and that youll see them soon. Too late: this emotional roller coaster JUST GOT STARTED. Whoah. This is going to be INSANE.
O Romeo and/or Juliet, Romeo and/or Juliet! Wherefore art thou Romeo and/or Juliet?
RYAN NORTH
NOTED SHAKESPEARE SCHOLAR/ENTHUSIAST
So, intelligent and well-informed reader of interactive fiction: what would you like to do now?
Okay, so the only way you could be reading these words right now is if you (SOMEHOW?) ignored all the very clear instructions to make a choice, and instead (again: SOMEHOW??) thought you were reading a regular boring book in which you can just sit back and enjoy the ride and never ever get to make any choices.
THIS IS NOT SUCH A BOOK.
You agree to start making choices and say that your first one is to go back to the previous option and, you know, read harder this time. You promise that youre going to read really hard until you understand how a choice works. You swear it.
I BELIEVE IN YOU. Alright, go do that! I dont want to see you wandering back here again!!
Haha, right! No need to experience this story as it unfolds: Ill just STRAIGHT-UP TELL YOU HOW IT ENDS. Thats way more fun and definitely how stories are meant to be experienced!
