Innovative Books: I am looking to compile a list of the most innovative uses of the book format. Books that break the mould in their layout and design, perhaps books that use online systems to extend their content value or push their form into new places. I am most interested in narrative and theory, but any book that is interesting (artist books etc.) would be really appreciated.

Fiction usually comes in two flavours: 1st person narrative or 3rd person description.
What short stories or novels have been written in
2nd person perspective (i.e. from the reader's viewpoint)? Also, are there any movies shot entirely from this angle?
