Although second person could work in shorts, shortshorts and choose your adventure gimmicks, using it for a novel would seem really strange. Offhand, I couldn’t name a novel that even tried it, much less succeeded.

Oh my goodness, now it’s a challenge and someone must do it just to see if it can be done without the writer or the readers spontaneously combusting in the process!
If you could turn a novel into one of those paintings where the eyes follow you, and make the story so universal that you could write it to resonate or appeal to any any reader... it would be hard to do, but I'm imagining how much I would enjoy a novel that seemed as though it were written to me. And you could use those tricks psychics use to make it seem that you know your readers' hidden secrets and proclivities... wouldn't that be a fun book?
Oh my, yes! You walk through the dark corridor, feeling the ghostly eyes of your ancestors watching you from their portraits along the wall. And you cannot help but wonder if they know of your secret obsession with macaroni salad.... 😃
And how could they not?
😂 okay you need to write this book. (The serious version!) is it a plan, then?
Me? I don't want to set anyone on fire!
