Call of the Wild


I'm not really a dog person.  We've tried, Vincent & I, on two different occasions to see if we might be able to be dog people.  We're not. (Actually, that's completely unfair - I am certainly not a dog person; Vincent very much is - he just happens to also be a cat person - and our cats just don't do dog).

"You keep those barking monsters away from us!"
I did, however, love this story.  I really loved how simply the story was told (Maybe it's because I just finished reading Austen, but I found London's "plain" direct style almost relaxing to read).

So confession.  I wrote this much of the blog last weekend and then ran out of things to say about it.  It was interesting.  I'm glad I read it.  Is there much original I can say about it?  I guess not.
