Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The Call of the Wild is a masterpiece, and I would choose that over the others. Beware, though, it can get pretty brutal sometimes. The canine, Buck, is a wonderful character in the story (I love animals and that's a big draw for me) and you see the many varieties of human nature through what he experiences. You also see love and loyalty, strength and courage in a harsh and unforgiving land. It's great.

Answer 2

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, I want to see what he thought the "story" was. Of the others, I have only read Angela's Ashes, it is so interesting. Frank McCourt is so funny, his life was not, but his writing is hilarious.

Answer 3

Angela's Ashes, The Call of the Wild and White Fang. The latter two are biographies (Jack London's life in the form of wolves) and really touching. I'm a big fan of Jack London...

Answer 4

I have read two of the books listed: Maus 2 and A Lesson Before Dying. Maus 2 is really great because its a graphic novel that I believe Art wrote about his dad...I'm not sure about that. But its about his experience during the holocaust and its done beautifully. A Lesson Before Dying is really hard for me to remember because I read it only once my freshman year of high school...I think it is about a man in prison who is on death row. Anyway, I would choose Maus 2 its great.

Answer 5

In Cold Blood actually happened in a town about 40 miles north of where I used to live. A friend knew the people who bought the house where the murders happened and I got to go down into the basement. Very creepy feeling. The movie was partially filmed in Garden City, Ks--about another 30 miles from the scene of the murders.

Answer 6

Well having read the all but one, I believe I would read Blood Wedding.

Answer 7

It's difficult to choose, actually! I think I would want to read "The Call of the Wild" by London right now, re-read it... it's such a great story about being in the wild, about how men and dogs react to a harsh climate; quite simply... about the call of the wild. Great writing. Yep, I'd read that again right now.

Answer 8

white fang, i own it and love it so much, i haven't read all of the other choices you listed, but of the ones i have, definatly white fang.

Answer 9

I'm with Zulle (Angela's Ashes)

Answer 10

In Cold Blood - I've read it and re-read.

Answer 11

A Lesson Before Dying and Angela's Ashes.

Answer 12

Maus 2 is a fantastic graphic novel about Art Spiegelman's experience talking with father about his father' s holocaust experience. I would read this along with Maus 1. Sure, it's two books, but both read faster than anything else on the list (they are graphic novels, after all).

Answer 13

I would read In Cold Blood

Answer 14

Ive read White Fang and The Call of the Wild which were real good books. Id recommend them.
