It's worth it for only two out of four

"The Call of the Wild" is a classic. A must for all young men looking for adventure. It doesn't get much better than this. "A Red Badge Of courge" is the ultimate 'war novel'. They made me read this book in school. Best mistake they ever made. Teachers can make a lot out of this book but no matter how they dissect it; it's still a good read.
