I wouldn't know if there was already a topic like this, but since most users on Balto Source like wolves or dogs, I think there already might be one.

I only read classics :wink:

Call of the Wild- This book is well detailed, well written, and tells the story of huskies in Alaska at the time. Buck, a dog who has been living with his owners for a while and has never lived the life of a huskie in Alaska, is taken away when the gardener loses a bet. Eventually he leaves and becomes a part of a wolf pack, killing Natives (they killed his owner).

White Fang- Like in Call of the Wild, an animal changes from his domesticated state into a wild dog. Except it's the other way around. A wolf becomes domesticated and fights other dogs as a sport.

My memory is a little hazy because I read these books a while ago. I'm pretty sure my discriptions are right, but I left out a lot of detail so you have to read the books. I recommend them to anyone who knows how to read. They are fantastic.

I also liked 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.

Verne has also written many great books, such as "The Mysterious Island" and "Around the World in Eighty Days".

I advise you to read them. Harry Potter and all that crap is nothing compared to this. Also, you should read a biography on Jack London. He had a very interesting life. Did you know his real name was John Cheney? His stepfather's last name was London, and I think he picked up the name Jack from nicknames he had gotten.

:P

Jack London is indeed one of my favorite authors. His stories about animals are incredible! I've also read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and it is also a very good story.

I love White Fang. It's definetely on my top 5 book list. I found Call of the Wild had a weaker plot - White Fang was the best. :D
