Just finished this book not too long ago. While I've read nautical books before, I found this one to be pretty unforgiving with the terminology, and I was a little lost in the jargon towards the end (what the gently caress are shears? Scissors?). Overall, pretty good read, though it did seem to unravel towards the latter half. What do you think? Can anyone recommend anything else by London that isn't White Fang or Call of the Wild?

The Sea Wolf is good and iirc there's this cool gay subtext running through it.

I have an ancient copy of Smoke Bellew, and found it to be pretty good, typical Jack London Klondike stories.

London is kind of under appreciated as the 7th grade mandatory reading guy. Interesting adventurer and insanely prolific writer.
