Curiosity got the better of me, so I searched for something about the book on Google. I was simply on Project Gutenberg one day, browsing the list of the most popular books available there, and somewhere in the middle of the list I saw The Call of the Wild and thought the title sounded rather exciting (what’s that saying about not judging a book by its cover, or in this case, by its title?). ![]() I had never heard of Jack London before nor had come across any of his literary pieces. There was not much deliberation behind such a choice, mind you. Thus far, I’ve already written three overviews and reviews for three books, namely Roughing It by Mark Twain, The Mountains of California by John Muir, and Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes by Robert Louis Stevenson.Ĭontinuing on with my little series of book overviews and reviews, I chose The Call of the Wild by Jack London as the next subject of my attention. What began as a small enterprise of writing overviews and reviews for the books I read – travel and adventure genres or otherwise – is now slowly but steadily growing into a staple series of my blog. ![]()
