The Adventures of Henry Thoreau: A Young Man's Unlikely Path to Walden Pond by Michael Sims

3.0

I loved Walden and it was an important influence on my life, but I don't think I would've liked the young Henry Thoreau. Come to think of it, I don't think I would've liked myself as a young man, either; for the same reasons. Too intense, too serious, too sure that everything he thought was right. A person like that might better go to the woods and live as deliberately as he wants.
