Judging The Scarlet Plague by Its Cover

I was going to make a "Judging a Cover by Its Book" of The Scarlet Plague, but the one that I have looks like this:

*Sigh*

Mine was printed in Germany by Amazon Distribution, in case Amazon's typical "Click to LOOK INSIDE!" sign didn't already tip you off.

Impressions - The Scarlet Plague

"It was in the summer of 2013 that the Plague came. I was twenty-seven years old, and well do I remember it."

 The Scarlet Plague is a novella written by the American author Jack London in 1912. We all know (at least, all of us Americans know) that London was an influential, classic author whose many well-known novels, novellas and short stories taking place in the times of the Gold Rush and often involving Native Americans, wildlife and intrusive capitalist society played a great part in inspiring many of America's most famous writers, from Hemingway to Steinbeck to Kerouac.  It is therefore somewhat surprising to discover that the socialist, journalist travel-writer actually wrote, of all things, post-apocalyptic science fiction, of which one notable example is titled The Scarlet Plague.

Resurrected

This is precisely how I felt when I woke up this morning -- incomplete. Something important was missing, and I was at a loss at to what it was. 

Then it dawned on me that I haven't posted in, what? two months? Three?

Anyways, this post is to mark a new post coming along very, very soon. Today is, alas, too late, but there will be a brand new Impressions tomorrow, and hopefully a new JACBIB (Judging A Book By Its Cover) soon after. Who knows, maybe I'll even post an article on writing? A-hahahaha, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Well, that's about it for now. Good day or good night,

PS: I've read 32 of the 100 books so far. So, almost a third. I don't hope to read a full 100 books, since I started the challenge rather late and not at the beginning of the year as it's supposed to be, but I would like to see just how many books I can read until the end of the year. Whatever I fail to read until the end of 2013 I'll add to my 100 books list for 2014. Yes, I've already made out another book challenge for next year. I really like reading.
