Idk probably only Thoreau thing I didn’t like. Actually is focused on Wild Apples and not enough deeper things than that. Not worth the time to read.

Trying some Thoreau today. Fascinating all the varieties of apples. 🍏🍎🍏
Här kommer lite litterär fallfrukt.
Nu helgar vi #thoreaubackthursday genom att läsa hans essä från 1862. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1862/11/wild-apples/411517/
Stilen är klassisk Thoreau; botaniskt detaljerad med många referenser till antikens mytologi och så det finaste; hans mer udda, unika och många gånger moderna tankar och observationer. Move your ass and the rest will follow, tycks Thoreau mena:
"They must be eaten in the fields, when your system is all aglow with exercise [...] the wind rattles the bare boughs or rustles the few remaining leaves around. What is sour in the house a bracing walk makes sweet. Some of these apples might be labelled: 'To be eaten in the wind."

Henry David Thoreau really liked apples. Really. This short piece is a love story to apples. At times he sounds like Bubba enumerating the various ways to prepare shrimp in Forrest Gump, but there are some entertaining tidbits and nuggets of wisdom. For example, after Thoreau explains that there are different contexts in which one should eat certain apples, he says this: "So there is one thought for the field, another for the house. I would have my thoughts, like wild apples, to be food for walkers, and will not warrant them to be palatable, if tasted in the house." So go read Thoreau in the wild instead of on the couch! :)
(I wouldn't highly recommend this book unless you are really "into" Thoreau).

Wild Apples - It gave me warm thoughts of Autumn, desire to explore the woodland of New England and have Vermont apple cider from the Tunbridge Fair freshly pressed touch my lips.
I don’t know how this man managed to make apples seem interesting and exciting but somehow he did. I’m impressed.
