Walden & On the duty of Civil Disobedience.

By Henry David Thoreau.

No firm conclusions on these books. They frustrate me a little. Part of me agrees with Thoreau that we can live well be living simply. Party of me grew tired of his preachy voice as he looks down on those who don't live as he wishes.

His strong individualism runs through his writing. It's to the point that you can tell he was never married or had children. Strong individuality is great for some people.  Others love society. How should they live?
