One of my very favorite short stories! I love everything I have read by Jack London, but this one and The Law of Life have always stuck with me.
To Build A Fire is a classic example of realism (or new realism as some might call this story to separate it from realism).
A classic example of Man versus Nature. The hard reality of nature's cold indifference towards humanity and man's hubris to think he can disrespect its power, fight against it, and win.

A well written, easily read, yet intriguing biography of Thomas Jefferson. Ellis gives an introductory account of Jefferson's fascinating character and the controversy that surrounds him. I read this book back in 2007 for my Jr. college first ever American history class, and some parts were very difficult for me because my English skills were not near to where they are now, and I needed a dictionary on almost every few words or so. Nevertheless, it was still a very interesting book, and an easy read in most parts even for me at the time.
