Jack London's The sea wolf - "We are all eating each other, what's the point"
It's wild how good this book is relative to how few people have read it.
"The only part I remember is 'I now commit this body to the deep'"
I remember I thought it was awful when I read it in seventh grade, but tbh I trust the opinion of a random stranger online more than I trust seventh grade me.
The one thing I remember was the kid Kenny who sat next to me in english period looked at the page I was on and picked out a sentence that was something like '"God damn it!", the cook ejaculated." and made a big thing about it and the teacher started yelling at us to quiet down. I genuinely don't think I'd remember the book existed otherwise.
