Also started The Call of the Wild by Jack London, novella-length fiction. Funny that I haven't read it before though I have a copy in a London collection I've had for decades. I have read a couple of his others.
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway.

I finished my reading challenge for this year so I wanted to start a bigger book. It was either this one or Gone with the wind, which I might start too.

I have to read Gone with the Wind some day, esp since I'm from the American south (Florida, which is a neighbor of Margaret Mitchell's Georgia).

I jumped it up my to-read list because I needed a change of pace in my reading after a bunch of British, Scandanavian and Japanese novels. Also like Mia I've finished my challenges for the year and it's a longer book.

Don't feel bad. I live IN Georgia (metro Atlanta, even) and just read it for the first time a couple of months ago. I even pass the Gone with the Wind" Museum each day coming and going from work.
