LOVED christopher Pike and R.L. Stine. They are the Stephen King for pre teen/ teens. I grew up reading those !
TeeHee. RL Stine. When I was in sixth grade, I was so obsessed with these books, I read like a book a day for six days once and ended up breaking down on the seventh day because I couldn't manage to read, finish off my homework and live a normal life because I HAD to read these books... I find it so bloody funny when I think about it now... Fortunately, my sister noticed what the books were doing to me and told me to stop.
But yes, I think I've read like one book by this Pike guy.
Damn it. We need to start a NESSAholics Book Club.
