The Call of the Wild
by
Jack London

I too loved "Green Mansions" as a teenager.
Don't want to reread it. Like to keep the memory as it is.

Frybabe · « **Reply #1322 on:** May 30, 2009, 04:05:45 PM »

JudeS, I remember not understanding all of what was going on in the book. It seems to me there was an old movie made of Green Mansions. All I remember of that was when they burned the tree down that the main character (and his girl?).

JoanK and I had to read this in French class, and the vocabulary was so much beyond what everyone knew that it took forever to slog through a page. Joan found this challenging and I found it discouraging.

Frybabe, were you part of the old SeniorNet discussion of Bligh's book? It was pretty interesting.

Frybabe · « **Reply #1336 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:12:26 PM »

No, Pat, I missed that. The closest I got was Treasure Island

, the first book discussion in which I participated. I think Bligh was before I joined.

Gumtree · « **Reply #1337 on:** June 01, 2009, 12:12:03 AM »

Yes, the Bligh discussion was really good. Bligh's history has plenty of resonances for Aust. - he was one of the early Colonial Governors here.

The old Rubbish rules were: you post on the last thing you see. If the phone rings, and you don't see a later post, that's OK. If you go to post and see a mess, you don't have to sort out whether the last post is valid, you just post on the last one anyway. Anything else is too confusing.
