You know, I actually suck at that. I have never been able to complete an R. L. Stine or Christopher Pike book. I know it's snotty of me, but I've TRIED. I'm too old for them, is what. I mean, Robert Arthur's "The Three Investigators" is no more challenging, and I loved THOSE (*adding him to list*). And I've read Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and the Bobbsey Twins (talk about old school crapola, oh, my god... the deep deep racism of those books is kind of incredible. They're sort of fascinating social documents, in a way). But I am not at all qualified to talk about Stine, Pike, or Duncan.
