This! <3 Conan Doyle also. And Clive Staples Lewis. And Jerome-Jerome.

Yes, ugh, second person. Are there even actual books written in second person?..

Although, admittedly, I'm ready to ignore whatever person author chooses to write in, if the fic is otherwise good.

*nods*

Second person has always seemed to me to be well-suited for two things: horror and a certain type of bondage-fic (what with the nameless speaker addressing the reader's "you" like a stalkery puppetmaster who has complete knowledge and complete control).

I feel like second person can come out very natural for videogame fandoms; game immersion means having the whole world refer to the character you're playing as 'you'.

Hm, I can see that.

(Though for me that still translates to first person (at least in games I've played, which are almost all MMOs), since I think I parse the "you" as coming at me in dialog rather than narrative.)

I know Timothy Findlay's The Wars uses second person in parts. I don't know of any other books that do so.

If on a winter's night a traveler is... well, mostly written in 2nd person, and it's one of my favorite books.

This! It's a fantastic book, and really the only novel in 2nd Person that I've ever read

And Right Ho, Jeeves. Bertie Wooster's voice is a joy.
