I tried to read Jack London at some point in my childhood, all I can remeber is that a half page of him describing an Autmn day was too much for my teenage brain to handle. Now, having lived some life, and learned a little bit more about words and language. I am kicking myself for not having the sense to devour these books earlier. . if you, like me, are a world nerd. Jack London is the GOAT. . #rarebooks #bookstagram #oldbooks #book #bibliophile #antiquarianbooks #bookcollector #antiquebooks #booklover #vintagebooks #bookshop #bookstore #bookstagrammer #instabooks #booksofinstagram #ookstagram #booklover #bookstore #onlinebookstore #antiquarian #antiquarianbooks #oldbooks #antiquebooks #bookstore #bookaddict #readingismagic #booklovers #welovebooks #prettybooks #igreads via @preview.app
