Which chapter of Ulysses would do you like to port to IF? Surely the errant rocks
could be a good example for programing, but not a interesting one.

I doubt Joyce being relevant to IF, at most he is in the same sense that Homerus.
(Ex: Judy Malloy book?)

My opinion, the first interactive book could be Rayuela, from Julio Cortazar,
in the 30's. You can read across chapters in any order. Cortazar suggest two
the short one (first half of the book) and the long one, mixing the rest of
chapters into the first group.

Actually I havent read the book, I tryed it years ago, when I was younger, and it
bored me.
