I am slightly torn about this book overall... some sections of Walden contain a great deal of valuable insight as Thoreau ponders what it means and what it is to live; and how a man's relationship to society should - or can - be defined. Thoreau however often goes off on tangents of experience or trivial trains of thought that *seem* pointless and lacking in depth beyond recounting his own sensory experience. Ironically those divergences are actually central to the entire point of his book makes against the lives of men living in the time-starved, productivity-driven, industrialized society of his time -- and that point has only become more poignant this many years after. Thoreau writes beautifully and there are a wealth great ideas and concepts contained within Walden. However, I am time starved. My focus does wander. Ultimately I don't care to read seemingly trivial information - but that is my own problem rather than his.
Favorite. SyFi + Outdoors. Easy enough for a teenager to read means easy enough for me to read with 3 noisy children.
Incredible story of Hemingway's first wife and Paris.
I read the first 100 pages last night, and probably would have finished it today except for that I had to go to work.
