By Jenna, The United States

"I had never read anything by Thoreau before this book. I had, of course, heard of him, but I never had the desire to read what I perceived would be a long, dull book about the woods. I love nature, but I love being in nature not (or so I thought) reading about it. That said, Thoreau pleasantly surprised me; I actually really enjoyed reading these selections. Walden isn't merely hundreds of pages describing a flower or stream; Thoreau places a lot of philosophy in his work. He stresses individuality and discovering oneself by leaving the trappings of civilization and its material desires behind. I think he might even agree with me that you can't be transformed by merely reading about Nature, but you have to actually go out and experience it for yourself.

One of my favorite pieces was "Walking". His idea of a walk is no doubt a far cry from what we think of walking as today: "If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again - if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man - then you are ready for a walk. (593)" Thoreau would not approve of walking while talking on cell phones or listening to iPods; this detracts from truly engaging in the world around you. Of course, many of us are too anxiety-ridden to relax enough for a stroll; we use the mp3 players to drown out our own thoughts on purpose since allowing them to take hold tends to be overwhelming. And I think this fear of free thinking is what Thoreau was afraid would happen to a materialistic society? That we would become so preoccupied with working and making money to earn the things we think we need that nothing is ever enough and work is never done, that our workday follows us home and fogs our thoughts that we no longer see any of the world clearly.

Do yourself a favor and read Thoreau."
