    <body><![CDATA[While Thoreau can seem a bit pretentious about his successes 'living off the grid', this is a great book to remove oneself from the excesses of contemporary life.  For example, on the topic of fashionable, but impractical clothing... &quot;yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to ha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18177487">more...</a>]]></body>

I know he's famous and all, but I've never been that big on Transcendentalism to begin with, and it seems like Thoreau just took some of Emerson's ideas and ran away with them till they reached the point of be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23011966">more...</a>]]></body>

His natural setting really helped bring out the themes he wanted to explain in this book: the importance of self-reliance, the value of simplicity, and the illusion of progress.  He also uses some motifs that were very interesting: ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20340129">more...</a>]]></body>
