I startet reading Thoreau's Walden because it kept being mentioned on tv and I bought a copy in danish because I got curious about it.



It's taken me a better part of a month to read and it almost won over me, but everytime I wanted to put it aside, I thought it was actually quite interesting how Thoreau describes "Simple Living ano 1845-1847".



It all comes together in his brilliant conclusion, I couldn't believe what he was writing, it all fitted so perfect even if we are writing 2009.



His words are so filled with truth and when you're finished with the conclusion you realise that what we've got here is a very wise man.



I don't know if it's true, but somewhere I heard that every highschool student in America is required to read it.

If this is true, I feel pity for everyone of them because it's not the most easy book to get through, but you can still learn something from Walden, it's only up to yourself what that is.
