Wild Apples by Henry David Thoreau

3.0

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).
