The Sea Wolf | 
pickWhat a lucky Open Bookshelf find! 🤩 I loved this book from start to end. This Wolf Larsen sure is some kind of character. The descriptions of life at sea were a great addition to an already great book ❤️ Definitely my highlight in October!

Started reading Sea Wolf on Serial Reader.
Jack London was rather hot! And, according to bios I‘m reading online, also rather racist. 😬 Need to research this some more.
#QuotsyMay19 Day 9: I only know of Jack London‘s “Call Of The Wild.” This sounds fairly interesting, too. Filled with #Enigma.
so-so4/5⭐️ Not that I haven‘t read worse in modern books, or even that it‘s bad, but I didn‘t look for such open violence in 1904 pop adventure. I expected Wolf to turn out to be a tough yet moral man, but he only got worse every chapter. This made the book unpredictable for me, as was its final fourth. Although the romance was sweet and danger fun, the adventure was weighed down by the repetitive philosophical fights and incomprehensible ship jargon.
Probably one of the most philosophical books I‘ve ever read.

Humphrey had the perfect life till his ship perished and he was picked up by the sealing crew aboard the Ghost with Wolf Larsen as the captain!

Not a great month for reading as we unpack and organize new house, but managed to read more than I thought.
A light dinner salad and a good book and my new table center piece.

This book made me think. And the song had a line about never breaking your heart, which Humphrey does not do to Maud; super sweet!
pickGreat book! Adventure + philosophical discussions = ❤ It was quite a JOURNEY !!! "A thrilling epic of a sea voyage and a complex novel of ideas, The Sea-Wolf is a standard-bearer of its genre. It is the vivid story of a gentleman scholar, Humphrey Van Weyden, who is rescued by a seal-hunting schooner after a ferryboat accident in San Francisco Bay."

The man versus his/her instincts.
Enjoying it so far. It seems I'll have a great adventure. 📚🍷

Technically in the Pacific Ocean, 500 leagues from the Southeast Asian border!
A little lunch reading, during #LitsyPartyOfOne.
Mr. Van Weyden sure knows how to say pretty things!

A couple of these are audio books. One is a book club book. And another is historical research for my creative writing novel.
Hoping to finish some this month and progress further through others.
"Liquid mountains" painted such a beautiful picture of a tall ship sailing through the water.
The book on my phone for when I find those spare minutes to read!
