Hello r/suggestmeabook,
I’m currently conceptualizing a book idea (Not promoting, this is purely for community feedback and figuring out whether to tackle this project.) My idea involves blending classic literature with an interactive riddle and symbol element. As readers, you would occasionally find certain symbols at the bottom of pages, with the challenge being to decipher why they appear based on the text on that page. Also, after each chapter, there would be a statistics page for those who love numbers & stats.
\*\*Here’s the breakdown:\*\*
Symbols trigger under specific conditions such as:
– The word ‘prince’ is mentioned.
– There’s a palindrome of at least 10 characters on the page.
– A chain of 6 or more words where the last letter of one word is the first of the next.
This added layer of engagement is optional—you can choose to dive into the puzzle-solving aspect or simply read the literature in its traditional form and do the riddles later. I would also like to do five difficulty levels, and resolve every riddle at the back of the book.
\*\*I have two key questions for you:\*\*
– Would a book that combines reading with content-based riddle solving appeal to you? How would you prefer to interact with such a book?
– What are your thoughts on integrating these elements into classic literature? Does it enhance the experience, or could it potentially detract from the original works?
I’m eager to hear your feedback! (I know I would love to have such a book, but I also now that I am a not the most normal person on this planet :D)
Thank you for your time and thoughts!
