I’m 43 and just now want to start reading RL Stine books. Is this crazy?
Nope i am planning to read them too ??
I have no idea what they are, but I frequently read YA & children’s books among other things, and I’m 45, so I’m going to say no, read whatever you enjoy.
They’re kid’s horror books. I was watching the movie Goosebumps which is one of the series names from the author and it made me want to read the stories the movie is based on.
I’ll put them on my to read list. ?
I still read them. I’m33 and I have no shame. They were my childhood
I was OBSESSED with RL Stein as a pre teen. Awesome books and no shame in reading them at any time.
I love his set of books called fear street they are so good
Nope. Go for it ???
Nope. You do you. #readwhatyoulike
My boy had everything by him. When he moved out I started reading them…nostalgia. Loved them. Remembered talking about them with my son. Never too old for those books
They’re fun -50
I do not believe in the phrase, “You’re too old for that!”
I love his books and YA books to.
No such thing as too old – read and enjoy!! ?
Not crazy at all. I read quite a few of his books and really enjoyed them.
So many books are aimed at children and teens but in reality anyone can read them. Read whatever you want and enjoy it ??
No! They are great. On the plus side you will be able to read them fairly quick!
I’m 39 and I still collect them, my wife helps out.
No, I’m 25 and collect Clifford books. No shame.
Never….reading is a gift of pleasure no matter who the book was written for..enjoy..enjoy
Do itttttt!!!!
He also has some more adult books
not at all, I will forever reread Christopher Pike books
Not at all
Nope. I’m 31 and just read Beatrix Potter (for some reason I didn’t read it as a kid ??♀️) never too old for reading ?
I am 43 as well Ann, and a majority of the books i have are from my childhood!!! Love reading kid/teen books!!!
@Jenn Same. I am 44 and the majority of the books on my top ten list of favorites are children’s books or YA from my childhood and even now I still love reading children’s/YA novels.
For my birthday i bought myself the Mary Poppins collection 😀 I have Pippi Longstocking collection, Winnie the pooh collection, Curious George collection (which i bought in memory of my cousin who always had his CG doll with him), Paddington Bear Collection, and i am sure there are more that i have 😉
@Jenn I love Curious George.
@Jenn I love the Mary Poppins series! They were a huge part of my childhood.
I only read the first one, so i was surprised to learn there was more 😀 I myself was hooked on Pippi, i actually dragged the collection book home from Epcot (i live in Canada 😛 )
Love Pippi, too.
No! Do it
If you like them, they are for you! Just Read!?
Nope. Not crazy.
Nope. Not at all. I started reading them in college after my brother introduced me to them.
READ THEM!!!!! I DOUBLE DARE YOU TO READ THEM!!!!! ????❤️❤️❤️❤️
no..
#goals
Hell no! Go crazy on ’em.
No way, there’s no age that limits us from reading books or at least there shouldn’t be. Go for it! You’re in for a treat. ?
Hell no, i read them as a teen, but the other day I seriously thought about rereading them. I did thoroughly enjoy them.
I’m 58 and reading Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett. Read what you want. Better read what you need.
There are no age limits or restrictions. Enjoy.
Hey I’m the same age. Read what you feel like at whatever age you happen to be. Every book serves a purpose and it simply depends on our feelings, our situation, and our needs as to what works best at what time for us – not our age!
Nope
i read what i want
not at all crazy, have fun
Read what makes you happy! ??
Yes, you’re completely mad…
I love Alice in Wonderland.
@Ann I just thought it was an apt quote ?
You read what you want, and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks ?
Nope I read young adult books more than other genres. I’m currently reading to all the boys I’ve loved before. I also reread my fear street books.
@Rosanna Same. I love YA books.
@Donna yup and the best part is theres a ton of fear street books. He just wrote a couple new ones in the series too. My 13 year old daughter is actually reading them and she has a hard time finding books that she likes.
I haven’t read fear street.
Its pretty good if you like young adult horror.
YA are my favorite as well.
Sounds the same with me! Especially since new Fear Street books are out!
@Donna New ones are out?! ?
@Beverly yah
@Donna I will have to look into these!
I still have mine and the thought crossed my mind too ? Now I just might do it! I loved them growing up!
Nope. I’m 56 and thoroughly loved the Cinder books. It’s not about age it’s about what is stimulating and entertaining to you.
Go for it!
Naw. Go for it!
I always read them
No. Read whatever makes you happy!
Not at all. I read Rick Riordan books. And he also reads preteen books. For me, it is all about the quality, not the recommended age.
Of course its not crazy 🙂
i have a few RL Stine books. LOVED the babysitter point horror..,.was always my fave. BTW im 36 lol
@Wendy yes!!! I collected all of those in my teens. He was my favorite!!
definitely not! they’re fun, and kinda makes you reminisce about childhood!
Reading is reading.
My mother is 60, her favorite genre is children’s literature. I think you’re crazy to wonder if wanting to read these books makes you crazy. =)
Nooo!! Go find all of the old school Fear Street!!! He has also written 2 novels for adults that were crazy good!
Am 33 and my 12 year old wants to read them am like me too lol
I love reading teenagers book and im 39. I actually prefer that then a few genre. I am a fantazy reader and book like i am four, percy jackson, les chevaliers d’émeraude, Ariel queen are easy to read and funny
Same here. I’m 37 and Young Adult are my favorite.
Percy Jackson rocks!
Not crazy at all. I read my first RL Stine book recently and loved it. Good stuff!
Nothing but not reading what you want because you think it’s crazy, is crazy.
