I got it as a reclaim with the cover torn off so i never remembered the title.
Recently someone mentioned Choose Your Own Adventure books to me, and I immediately thought of the book I'm trying to remember, because it was a puzzle book in a similar vein, but much more in depth. You had to solve things, you even had combat at points if I remember? (but no dice to play - you just needed the book)
If you died you went to the astral plane, and you could solve/play to get back into the story, but I never solved it. There was a great wyrm. (Dragon - maybe more than one) I think there was a wizard.
It was darker than choose your own adventure stories, and had a bit of dark humor at points.
I remember the spine and the back of the book being greenish in paperback form.
I wish I could remember the name of it. It really was exemplar of the form.
If anyone has an inkling of the book I'm referring to suggest it here. I'll google it because I'll definitely know it when I see it.

I read many of those types of books in my younger days. I don't recall any that meet all of your description. Sorry.

at the level of stupidity I'm capable of.
I had been soldering a circuit board and before putting chips in place I hooked up power supply and got weird results, so I started tracking problem only to find out I had reversed leads on power supply. Duh
Have spent many hours residing our house and I'm exhausted. Replacing vinyl siding with Hardi Plank...big job but it's the last of the large house projects. Thank god!

Is it possible to put a full wave bridge on it? Polarity be damned!

Many ways to insure correct polarity, the main one being opening my eyes and paying attention to what the hell I'm doing.

Been getting into Retro a lot lately, especially Z80 chips.

I troll my neighbors with my SSID. I'm one of those people.
Did_You_Leave_The_Stove_On is a good one
At some point I want to rotate my SSIDs daily with something clever by tying them to the fortune app or something.
This seems like a good use of my time.

I liked Bloodhound Gang, mine used to be "Hooray For Boobies (.)(.)". The neighbours had a good laugh.

I do too.
My phone's hotspot SSID is "Let's go Brandon!"
I live in a wildly liberal neighborhood.
"Wind chimes really?" is another.
I have an old router for just such billboards.

Since we're confessing, my current SSID is Communism_Will_Win
I figure it will frustrate or at least confuse the maximum number of people on my street.
