I’ve never read S, but I’ve always thought the concept was fun. It’s a story within a story: there’s the book itself, but it also includes letters, inserts, margin notes, and others which tell a larger story about two readers of the book and the mysteries around the author. It was written by Doug Dorst, but originally pitched by JJ Abrams - so it has a solid storytelling pedigree. This New York Times interview gives a good taste of it, along with a couple of photos.
