WALDEN & ON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE Economy When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months. At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again. I should not obtrude my affairs so much on the notice of my readers if very particular inquiries had not been made by my townsmen concerning my mode of life, which some would call impertinent, though they do not appear to me at all impertinent, but, considering the circumstances, very natural and pertinent. Some have asked what I got to eat; if I did not feel lonesome; if I was not afraid; and the like. |

Reviewer: andrew_zito - 12/7/2007 19:47Subject: Be the first to write a review Reviews Be the first to write a review Reviews Downloaded 35,837 times Hmm anything profound to mention? Well if Henry wasn't good enough to produce something profound that 35,836 people could not mention, that and in that in Japan they tested monkeys and humans finding the monkeys won I guess it speaks alot about "humans" and I shouldn't be disappointed. Hey to my ex−girl friends I didn't beat you the monkey beat you don't blame me! BTW I am not human! Walden is wonderful! Henry David Thoreau is better than your momma! and the recording I am sure is wonderful and if it isn't it's the fault of the other 35,836 people who are lame lazy and jaded. Why are they so stupid?? Why? |

Reviewer: thinginab - 8/29/2008 15:39 Subject: Good Reading The quality of the reader is very good. He is as good as any professional I've heard. I found the content of the book to not be my taste. It seemed to be a mix of ranting about the state of society and a naturalist journal (much of it is simply an account of daily happenings that didn't interest me). I found myself tuning out most of the time. I'm rating it high because of the quality of the reader. If you love Walden, then this is for you. |
