When Hubby looked over my shoulder at what I was reading, he scoffed at me. He couldn't believe I never read "The Call of the Wild" before. Apparently he read it when he was 12 or 13. Anyway, I still have one up on him as he's never gotten through the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, except on film which isn't nearly the same thing.
I thought I would be desperately bored reading this book as I was watching Benji movies as a kid. Boy, was I wrong. I was caught up in the story from beginning to end. I LOVE authors that take care to give us rich details. I could see poor Buck huddled in the snow trying to stay warm, battling fatigue, hunger and Spitz' ire.
I am not sure what book to choose next. I think I will tackle "Candide". We'll see how that goes. : )
