[Sock Puppet]

A friend of mine just finished and recommended The Sea Wolf by Jack London. I'd never read it because I was never impressed with Call of the Wild or White Fang, which I'd read as a kid. But apparently, London considered this novel his "refutation" of Nietzsche, or at least of Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch. I decided I needed to check that out.

I downloaded the LibriVox recording, but to my disappointment, the guy reading it sounds about 150 years old and mispronounces way too many words (starting with LibriVox, ffs). To make it worse, I've flipped around several chapters and he seems to have done the whole damned book. I'll tough it out for awhile, though. It is in fact more well-written than I remember London's other works.
