I never got into the Goosebump series. But years and years ago, I read a lot of books by R.L. Stine.

I read like the first 1 through 63
when i was like 12 or something
Then I gave all the books to the school, didn't want them really, too much space being taken up, plus someone else could get a read out of them :D

I remember goosebumps... 5 or 6 years back in 6th grade. They were one of the biggest fads I've had to endure. I never read one, simply because everyone else did. I bet they're some good simple stories though for elementary kids.

I used to read them. But as I have grown up I dont read that much anymore. I cant seem to stick with a book for a wile. I guess its the fact that I post so many messages on forums, and read the fellow members posts that I get tired of books and want to read more of everyone's posts here.
I remember last year we had to do some book reports, and I would seriously wate till the last minute to finish my book report. I never did that in 6th grade and or in elementary school, I used to love sitting down by a lamp and reading a good ol book like goosbumps or something. I did like Michigan chillers books during the end of 6th grade.
But I dont read books that much anymore unless its a book about one of my favorite pro wrestlers, and or video games.

Hehehe, I got over them when I was about 10. I don't remember exactly what I moved on to, but now I'm reading through the various Dune books in a cyclic manner that seems to repeat itself every six months or so, in between other random books, that is.
The Goosebumps books were rather like Soilwork songs; sort of repetitive, but they were good and plentiful.

I never really got into Goosebumps books. I always thought that they were lame. They got kind of old after, I don't know, the third book I read. They're not very scary either. I used to bring Goosebumps on road trips because they are easy to pick up and sometimes can be mildly interesting.

I used to read these all the time when I was younger. In face, I read one the other week!

I've only read one of the books. It was the one with the shark on the cover. I really didn't care about it but I suppose I didn't care much for such books back in those days. I was attracted to the shark, I infer.

I read em. Has anyone ever read that adult novel R.L. Stein wrote? I forgot the name of it, it was pretty good.

Stopped reading them when I was five (not an exaggeration, thanks). Last one I read involved a girl turning into a chicken.
Of course, these days I'd pick that particular book up and then wipe it down with a wad of tissues afterwards.

Dude, they had Goosebumps versions of choose your own adventure. They were pretty good, b/c they had gory deaths. I loved the Goosebumps series. MY favorite was also the Monster Bloods. I really like the Horroland one too. They were all really sweet. Loved the covers.

Those were the best! I would always cheat and peek at all the possible choices to see which was the right one.
I read a ton of Goosebumps when i was a kid, but sadly i can't remember the titles of any of them :<. I have a faint memory that one of my favorites was about a Pet Cementary.

Best. fucking. book.
When the snows blow wild,
And the day grows old,
Beware the snowman, beware the
snowman,
For he brings the cold.
When the snow melts and the warm
sun is with thee,
Beware the snowman--For
the snowman shall be free!

Didn't most of them wind up like that 100 pages in?
Oh, wait, 70 pages in, what with the books not even being 100 pages long zing.

I used to get eight out of the library at a time - the maximum they'd let me borrow - and read them all in a few hours. They were more like short stories than actual books.
Reader beware, you're in for a scare.

Ha ha ha... those books still are amusing. Seeing which ways you can get brutally massacred is always fun.

the books are good, when i was younger i read them all the time. if you like RL Stine's books i suggest you read a book he wrote that is not a Goosebumps book, its called, The cheater, i really enjoyed it, it is not like Goosebumps because it doesnt have any evil forces or monsters or whatver, but even still its really good, give it a read.
