Wow! I went through so many emotions while listening to this audiobook. I was outraged at the abuse that occurred throughout. I was excited by the perseverance of the animals.

This isn't an autobiography in the conventional sense. It's clearly and openly a Prohibitionist tract, published seven years before Prohibition came to pass. It just so happens that London chose his own drinking career to illustrate his argument. Hence, those looking for the story of Jack's life may...
That was a depressing little story. According to Jack London, the end of civilization comes in 2013 on the a wave of a plague no one catches in time. The story is told by a survivor 60 years later, in California, where the survivors grouped up into tribes from Santa Rosa to San Francisco, with s...
When I see a dog turn a phrase far better than I can and wax philosophical about matters I've barely pondered, I can't help but think that modern public schooling has failed me.
