Call of the Wild

Well, that's it for you. You can never be president. Have you come to the part about niggerheads yet?

"Call Of The Wild" was the first novel I ever read - though it's really more of a novella or a long short story. I was in the fourth grade and my teacher gave me a choice of other classics, such as Huckleberry Finn and Red Badge of Courage (which dates me because schools today would never offer up that fare).

I chose Call Of The Wild because it had a picture of a dog on the cover and I liked dogs. Glad I picked it as it was an excellent story and got me interested not only in reading real books but attempting to write them as well. A year or two later, I wrote a story called "Buzz, the Winter Dog" for a school project. It never was a best seller but it got me an A+ from my English teacher. I even had illustrations with it.

Anyway, the book I'm reading currently is "Difficult Men" which is about how cable television dramas like "Sopranos" and "Mad Men" are changing the face of television - which used to mostly put out dreck aimed at the lowest common denominator.
