I need to pick it up for a re-read

[Jon]

its been a while since I have read any Jack London - but always loved his stuff - "to build a fire" is one of my favorite short stories. Let me know when you are done, and lend me the book for a re-read!

By the way, its total bullcrap that you got a foul ball at the giants game. Ive always wanted one, and only been even close once.

The Call of the Wild by Jack London,bring me back to childhood,reading the suffering of the tormented dog and finally triumph,there was also a movie that was quiet accurate.

i agree with the movie concept only because its one of the only movies that does not add on to the story such as legend of the gardieans <- movies like that are horrible they never show anything good about the books unlike call of the wild movie <- this type of movie shows that its not a crime to make a move almost exactly like the book

I didn't read this book until I was an adult. I could never reread it because I loved the dog, and I wouldn't want to feel the way I felt when I read the book the first time. I was sad and felt terrible for the dog throughout the book.

As a child it reduced me to tears; as an adult it did the same

[Brad]

I didn't find it that sad. Sure Buck is consistently dealt bad hands. The point is that nothing is given to you in the wild. Buck had to fight literally tooth and nail to make his life good again. I think you're supposed to admire that not cry for him.

When I was 10, my father gave me a complete set of Jack London. I read Call Of The Wild first, and loved it despite the tears. I worked my way through the entire set, too young for some of the books. Valley Of The Moon was a favorite.

I hated this book...

[Yasa]

I liked it...The ending was breathtaking.

[Bish]

I read it, the first time, when I was around 12. It was the book that taught me the power of words, for it was first book to make me cry. The ending is so beautiful, even to this day when I read the last paragraphs tears well up in my eyes.

Call of the Wild was the second full book I read when I was 9 or 10 (translated version, in Swedish). The first book I ever read was Lappo by Helge Törnros, and it was that book that made me read Call of the Wild. I finally found Lappo again (hard to find as last printing was in 1955) and I will re-read both Lappo and Call of the Wild (this time in English)
