Richard's review
Walden and Civil Disobedience (150th Anniversary)
by Henry David Thoreau
I've read a lot of self-helpy books about simple living, but Thoreau is the only one to really make me want to cut out the excess. It (in part) inspired me to go ahead with the Peace Corps application. I still need to give up the meat, however....so tough so tough!
Hey you. I haven't really given up meat as I still eat fish and seafood I just don't want to support the current farm practices involved with livestock. I signed the closing papers for my new sailboat and everything should be in my name in "sailaway" condition come Friday! Pretty exciting. My email is Rtennysonjohnson@gmail.com shoot me a line, I'd love to catch up. You're right about Thoreau, he certainly influences my philosophy on life.

I am reading this book very slowly and find myself going back and re-reading sections several times. The philosophy behind the book is best summed up with these Thoreau words :"simplify, simplify, simplify". Since reading I have done such things as give jackets and clothes to the homeless and Goodwill keeping only what I wear most frequently, moved aboard a sailboat, given up eating meat other than fish, etc... The philosophy behind the book is worth giving a try though some parts of the reading can be slow.
