Why read it?
1 author picked Call of the Wild as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A non-fiction account of one office worker’s yearlong attempt to survive in Alaska. As someone who finds non-fiction quite dry and hard to read, this book is the best of both worlds. It has the detail of a true account with the wit and humor of fictional story.

From Sarah's list on surviving in the wild, no matter the cost.
