The Sea Wolf by Jack London

5.0

One of the better books of the year for me; since I just finished it, I suspect my review would be a gush-fest; there's plenty in the book to make one's eyes roll, but the back-and-forth between Hump and Wolf on the existence (or absence) of the soul, and the existence (or absence) of good or evil in a human, amidst the backdrop of some excellent sea writing, gives this book the philosophical and literary heft to make up for the out-of-place human romantic element.
