Walden by Henry David Thoreau

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

I am finally fucking done with your book, Thoreau.
He definitely has a beautiful way with words but the content of this book and Thoreau's personality were just plain boring and yucky.

Didn't get from this what I had necessarily hoped for, but it has some interesting ideas, just maybe stick to the cliff notes.

I didn’t like this book at all, the premise was fantastic but the delivery and actual experience were disappointing.

Don't be afraid to skip chapters, but don't miss the beginning, conclusion, and parts of the middle

This piece is truly timeless, it’s scathing philosophy in regard to capitalism and consumerism perhaps more relevant than ever. It is inspirational and practical, encouraging to live a life outside of societal demand and expectations, one that is true to itself, simplistic and without intention other than to experience.
