Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Location: California		Having decided that Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle probably isn't young adult, it has been moved to the adult Best Novel category. When I first saw it in the YA category, I was thinking of getting it to see what the author of the Space Raptor Butt Trilogy would consider a YA novel.

Has anyone read Camp Damascus? Is worth getting/reading?

I picked up Camp Damascus out of curiosity, being a fan of Chuck Tingle's previous works. It's definitely not young adult material, but if you appreciate his irreverent style and enjoy unconventional storytelling, it's worth giving a read

@dinosaur game I appreciate "Camp Damascus" for its unexpected depth, its handling of sensitive topics, and Tingle's ability to create a truly unsettling atmosphere. It's considered Tingle's bold move into a different genre, and many find it engaging and thought-provoking.

Location: United States		I'm impressed with Chuck Tingle's work, and Camp Damascus is a YA book. The freestyle storytelling and development style is generally youthful and appropriate for young people.
