Call of the Wild

by Jack London

Why haven't I read Jack London before? I never read what I was supposed to be reading when i was younger, which I suppose in this case is fine. I'm not sure as a young man I would have got as much out of Call of the Wild as I did now. There's just a certain agedness to it. You have to have lived long enough to know the ugliness of life and you have to have survived far enough past the worst of it to no longer strap it with anger and regret.

What a brilliant idea to write a book...
