Yeah, I was iffy on it. It's supposed to be fiction but doesn't read like it. I didn't agree with some of his views at all, and he seemed to contradict himself a little. But when he'd just stop ranting and talk about nature, it was lovely. I wish there was more of that. And there were a few lines that made me laugh a lot...mostly:
"I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced."

Anyway...this was a way too long rant that I could've summed up by saying: I'm a Kerouac-person, not a Thoreau-person.

i'd agree about being a kerouac person, BUT HOLY SHIT THOREAU IS SO IMPORTANT (to my understanding of american studies, at least).
