Has anyone ever read any... · 2:54am May 5th, 2015
of Robert Cormier's works? If you were like me then you had to read I am the Cheese in high school (around, say, sophomore year?) but what about some of his other stuff? I just finished re-reading The Rag and Bone Shop. 150 pages. Excellent, dark book. Very psychological stuff. Then there is, of course, The Chocolate War, and the sequel Beyond the Chocolate War. I just saw the movie of the former yesterday. It was fine until they completely changed the ending. Completely ruined Archie's character, and he's the best character Cormier ever wrote! Gah!
But yeah, I've read a fair few of his, and none of them are particularly uplifting, but boy did he know how to write people. Rag and Bone Shop, I am the Cheese, the two Chocolate War books, After the First Death, We All Fall Down, and I finally picked up Tunes for Bears to Dance To. He only wrote a dozen books, none of which are overly long, so it would be easy to read all of his stuff.
So yeah, anyone else familiar with him?
Now, on to FimFic stuff. I am working on The Prince. It's coming. Don't worry. I haven't forgotten about it. Also, I'm going to be, well, not updating a story I wrote, but looking back on one, I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending, which was a last-minute change, so I'm going to be giving you the original one in a new, short chapter. So yeah, that's what I'm working on.
Also, in Civ V, I played a worldwide map with only pony countries. Good grief, Saddle Arabia is aggressive.
I will have to look into those books.
I haven't heard of this writer I mostly read terry prattchett
3045778 You should look into him. Check out one like The Rag and Bone Shop or The Chocolate War first.
Sorry, I have never heard of him. I know more fanfic writers with stuff I like than actual authors.

3045758 I'd really suggest him. He's quite good. An easy read, too.
3045787 ill look in to them next time im book shopping currently I am trying to finish Hannibal
I read The Martian by Andy Weir. 350 pages, I read it this past Saturday morning between 1:30 AM and 5 AM. I recommend this book. It was good.
Yeah, I read I Am the Cheese and the Chocolate War, and it was long enough ago (probably 20 years by now D:) that I don't remember a damn thing about either. :B
3046356 I'd suggest giving at least The Chocolate War another look. I find it interesting that I really have no desire to read I am the Cheese again just because I had to for class. Eh.
