![]() ![]() ![]() Stine's Goosebumps and Fear Street readers turned to for a more mature novel, sitting as the middle ground with Stephen King the level above Pike. Though their peak popularity reigned at the same time, Pike was commonly heralded as the author R.L. In addition to his Young Adult novels, he has written several Juvenile novels under the Spooksville series title, as well as several adult novels such as his 1990 hit book, Sati. The book was an immediate success and Pike's career as a Young Adult author took off. His first attempt resulted in the 1985 novel Slumber Party, a book about a group of teenagers who run into bizarre and violent events during a ski weekend. He initially tried his hand at writing science fiction and adult mystery, but later began writing teen thrillers due to an editor's suggestion. He attended college briefly before dropping out and working various jobs such as house painting and computer programming. ![]() McFadden was born in New York City in 1955, but grew up in California. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just one well-built sentence after another - Hemingway would approve.

Scruton considers scores of works in three languages, giving the reader an understanding of each thinker's overarching aim and his place within the multifaceted movement known as the New Left. Scruton is at his best, (and funniest) when trying to make sense of Badiou's weird confection historical materialism and Platonic mathematical theory (Jonathan Derbyshire Prospect) Since he no longer has a university career to protect, Scruton can now tweak the nose of academic leftism to his heart's content. The book also addresses what is likely our most pressing question: 'Can there be any foundation for resistance to the leftist agenda without religious faith?' ( Catholic World Report) ( Kirkus Reviews)įrom the standpoint of a serious conservatism, it honestly assesses the political and philosophical contributions of the Left. complex and erudite ( Publisher's Weekly US)Ĭaustic, highly recherché, and simply great fun to read for the questing intellectual soul.

"I'm aware that it might not be what most people expect, but also I think that's the beauty of cinema, when you sat next to your best friend and you agree on so much and then the film ends and you're like, 'I thought this,' and 'I thought that,' and that shows how much people care," he teased.
