Well yeah, who doesn’t love reading Jack London?

I read most of his books and stories when I was 10-13 years old, all that were available through the county library anyhow, read 'Call of the Wild' three times the year I was 10. I loved the way he told a story, but, you know he was a Socialist (as were most writers of the time) and Animal Rights Activist, so I kinda out grew him.
I read later that he borrowed or bought a lot of his story lines. Fun reads but... not a hero for me.

Teddy Roosevelt called him out as a nature faker and nearly ended his career.

If you like a more fact based outdoor writer than fiction, Russell Annabel, was the most noted adventure writer in outdoor magazines. There are a number of books available, and most are in article chapter form, so it is a nice short story read for sit down.

Next time you read him, do it with the mind set that he is trying to promote animal rights and anthropomorphism; along with the Socialist agenda. You may find it thought provoking.


Takes one to know one. TR another of the same ilk.
