Walden & Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau

5.0

---

I’ve returned to Walden and Civil Disobedience. It is very telling how different you take in a book when you read it in a completely different time in your life. I first read Walden and Civil Disobedience while I was getting my bachelors degree. Then when I was in graduate school in NYC, I went to Walden Pond, hung out, swam, visited Henry at his grave along with Emerson, Emily Dickinson and the like. Now I need the call back to simplicity and nature in a much different way then when I was just fresh from country living and 18 years young. I also need the Civil Disobedience so that when I am arrested at the next war protest, I will remember to bring a pen and paper!
