I first read it as a very young lad. I remember my fourth grade teacher calling me a liar when I said I'd read it sometime ago. She was a really awful person in many ways.
Anyway, the first time I read it I didn't understand irony. I puzzled for the longest time over that first sentence, "Buck did not read the newspapers." I thought, "Of course, he's a dog. What's the point!" But that opening drew me in, and changed me.

The Call of the Wild is a great book. I first read it in 3rd grade, but my 4th grade teacher didn't call me a liar, as she was my 3rd grade teacher who had given me a copy of it to read the previous year.
I also love London's
White Fang.
