I really like reading his stuff, and thought I'd share this with you.  I stumbled on a website that has his "short stories" listed in alphabetical order, just click on a title and the story pops up for your reading pleasure. http://www.jacklondons.net/writings/ShortStories/index.html

I've got one of his books that's a compilation of some of his short stories, after watching "Klondike" last week I got to thinking about his work & did a search on the net.

I read "To Build A Fire" about 40 years ago and think about it every Winter.

I read "To Build A Fire" about 40 years ago and think about it every Winter. I read both "To Build a Fire" (I and II) in high school English. Great stuff! Somebody should post a link to both these stories on our "surviving a cold wet night" or whatever the link is actually called. John

Actually liked "Martin Eden".....

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

I've read a number of the stories on that site but not nearly all of them. London was an excellent author.
Another great author of about the same period was O. Henry. His stories were a little on the lighter side than London's but still showed the way of life of the times.

Must have read White Fang as a kid at least a half dozen times and Call of the Wild another 3-4.
Thanks for sharing the link.

Didn't just about every young kid do a book report on one of his books?
