Anyone spot my favourite quote It goes something like: ' Out East where the man chases the job. Out West, where the job chases the man, and the man bucks big! '
Pretty sure that quote is in The Road. And, I checked out a clip of The King of The North Pole for, the exciting sequence on the train.
That bit, made me feel excitement right into the bottom of my belly.
I shouted out loud, in relief and amazement that reading a book could make me feel like that!
Amazing!
I can see why an investor MIGHT invest in a movie. With no hope of a return now!

The thing that struck me was how modern it sounded like it could be written today. Then I realized this was written when: the only land transportation was horses and trains, people used gas lights or candles, the telegraph was used and not phones, the probability wasn't much refrigeration, there was practically no government help, and I believe the radio had not been invented.

My Grandparents weren’t that well off during the Great Depression, but I was told that they would get knocks on their door from hobos and Grandma would give them food. It’s interesting how sometimes, people with less are willing to give more than others who have more.

My favourite ever book. The chapter about. Riding a freight train. Fantastic! The most exciting thing ever! It should be a movie. Jack London is a Philosopher. Did you read, The People of The Abyss It's a bit hurtful to read as a Englishman.

This great book had a lasting influence on me after I read it at age 13. After high school I lived as a hobo for 7 years. Hobo life was different in London's time, but I still experienced the romance of the road along with the rugged hardships.

Oh, so true. When I was coming up, we lived 2 blocks from the tracks. In Ind. the 30s and 40s the Hobos ask for food. My mother would give them a sandwich and a piece of pie. Hobos led a hard life. Thank you for this good book.

Think about how much easier it was for the legal system to be as corrupt as the Erie County one was when the only high-speed communication was the telegraph and personal cameras and recording devices were no-existent.

Jail for 30-days near Buffalo isn't five years in Siberia but I get the idea. I grew up in Buffalo and what you drank beer out of was pronounced shoo-per not shup-er like the reader says. Go Jack.

I enjoyed this, some funny predicaments he finds himself in. Use of the n word and Coon at times unfortunately. Written in the early 1900s. The narrator is a bit robotic.

Saw some complaints about how the reader is robotic, and mispronounced some words. If you're like that, STOP LISTENING FOR FREE AND BUY INTO THAT AUDIBLE BULL AND STFU.

The time stamps in the description are wrong. I caught Ch. 5 here at 2: 03: 05, The Pen, not 00: 30: 01.
2: 33: 06 Chapter 6, Hobos That Pass In The Night.

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog.
