When the MC spits, that spits cracks and he realizes he's going to die is one of the most captivating scenes in any story I've read. Of course, Call of the Wild was the novel I loved best. You couldn't have chosen a better literary figure for L, Bish.<br /><br />His California home (now a state park) is a beautiful place to visit.

Not true?<br /><br />I remember reading "To Build a Fire" in 8th grade English and being amazed at the power, but "hating" the story because I was so used to stories with happy endings.
