Do you remember R.L. Stine books?

i agree

Yes, those were great books. I wish I had the patience to sit down and read a book a day like I used to. I'm lucky if I can read 12 pages in a day anymore.... I guess life just gets to complicated as we get older to do the things that used to be so trivial to us.

It's sad that these books that are really not all that old, what 15 years, some of them anyway, but yet, they are outdated now.... I guess I am outdated as well. LOL! These were good books, well written and kept you on the edge of your seat. I will hopefully introduce them to my children starting with goosebumps and let them decide if they like them. They have been replaced with Harry Potter. I don't care too much for those books, my boyfriend reads them though and hopes that our children will one day like them as well, He tends to read more of the fantasy type books, with dragons and such, where as I like romance novels or a good murder mystery.... Hopefully our children will like a little of both.......

i remember the old goosebumps books, i had almost evrey one of them. i remembered the book "the blob that ate evreyone" the most because it was the only one in the series that actually creeped me out

I don't even think I have heard of Fear Street.

I was more into the fear street ones. My boyfriend's cousin read both religiously. My boyfriend read both and I think he liked Goosebumps the best. Oh well.....

I think I just felt that goosebumps was a bit too young for me or too childish.... They didn't get my blood pumping quite like fear street did.

Yes, books do seem to be a great way to close a lot of gaps. I have all of the Fear street books, I might be missing a few now, but I had the whole collection. The Goosebumps were not as appealing to me, but I did read a few of them and I watched the shows from time to time.

I used to read a lot. I used to be able to read about 100 pages in a day, now, i barely read any. I might get through 1 chapter a day and it seems to take me forever to read, so I don't do it as much as I used to. I miss those days though. I also miss being able to be so engulfed in a story that I couldn't put the book down. That's the way I was with those books. I have found very few adult books that I get that wrapped up in. I would love to find a fear street series for adults, but that was as entertaining as those books.

Yes, I was in the fear street club and they would occasionally send a christopher pike book to me. I don't remember much about them, but I remember they were decent books, but nothing compared to my fear street.....

I wish he had wrote more adult novels. I can't think of any other ones as well though. I like christine feehan, but it's a completely different kid of book.

Your welcome and good luck in your writing....

R.L. Stine used to be my favorite author. Of course as I got older my taste in books kind of changed and so did my favorite author, but I remember how much enjoyment these books brought me and I hope one day my children will get the same enjoyment out of these books as well.

I had given a few of them away, but I kept most of mine and my mom made sure that she boxed them up for me. I have a storage building on my dad's farm and I plan to go over there as soon as the weather gets warm enough and go through each and every box and pack things back up better and get rid of things that I can not use. I know that I have probably 5 plastic bins of just books. I know at least 2 of them are of books that I have had since I was little, so I look forward to seeing what I find.....

R. L. Stine is a great writer. I liked the book superstitious. I read it in high school for a book report. I don't recall reading anything else of his though other than fear street and a few goosebumps and the one book superstitious.

I'm not sure if he is still writing or not. That's something to research during my many pointless hours online..... I wonder if he has written any more adult novels. If so I would like to read them.

I think that they fear street ones are better. You should read a few of them and see what you think about them. They are a little more grown up.... I never really found them to be that scary, but they were more of a mystery. This is coming from the girl who has started her own ghost hunting group though.....

Goosebumps was really geared to a younger audience, then as the child grew, they could go on up to fear street. I started reading them in middle school, so i started off with fear street. I just never cared too much for goosebumps. They seemed too young for me. I joined some book club, i think it was the fear street club and each month they sent you like 2 new books in the series and sometimes a similar book of a different author. It was neat. My mom paid for it, so I really didn't put much of my own money into it, but I loved the series.

I agree. My boyfriend and I boxed ours up for our future children to enjoy as we did. I just hope they don't feel like they are too outdated. I used to read the hardy boys and nancy drew as well and my mom grew up with them, so maybe it's just with series like those, they don't get outdated as easily.

LOL! Those were my boyfriend's favorites. I never cared much for that type of thing. LOL! He actually has a few of those still here somewhere. We boxed them all up though to save them for our kids. I just hope they pickup both of our love of reading and they like the same types of books that we read, if not, well, I guess there's always ebay..... I'm sure some kid out there still reads these and buys them.

I think between the 2 of us, we had 50 fear street books and like 15 goosebumps, not to mention other books of the same kind, but different authors and series..... I used to love to read and was a pretty fast reader, but as I got older, I didn't do it as much and I have slowed down a lot.
