Most creative book I've ever seen

I am a lurker and I do thank you for all your great book suggestions.  I had to peek out from lurkdom to post about this book because I have a feeling many of you will really appreciate it.  It's called S. by JJ Abrams.  It's full of nested stories. The presentation is amazing right down to the worn look of the pages, the loose inserts, and the very old smell.  I have only just begun this reading "experience" and I am blown away by the creativity.  It's not at all an easy read - part of the challenge is deciding just how to read it!  You can find guidance on recommended ways to read it in the reviews though.  If you consider yourself the "third" person to receive the book, you also become part of the experience.  

Description from amazon:

One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.

A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.

The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.

The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.

The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they’re willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.
