I love Thoreau's messages of getting back to the land, living simply, civil disobedience, etc. but sometimes he goes on for pages about his bean crops and how many he planted and the crop yields for each year and what day of the year that Walden Pond froze over ... it gets a little tedious. And the language is a bit older because it was written 150 years ago. So it was nice to read one of the forerunners in nature philosophy books but definitely not planning on re-reading this one.
