If You Have Built Castles in the Air...

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: A book worth reading, and reading again, for the sheer buoyancy of its prose and the clarity of its message.
Review: The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

Henry David Thoreau, a member of the transcendental movement centered in Concord, Massachusetts, in the 19th century, retreated to Walden Pond in 1845. During the two years and some odd...

Walden: A Call to Spiritual Arms

Date of Review:  May 3, 2000
Review: I love shorewalks in the evening. I love the way great, grey waves, shaggy
with foam, shatter on the broken shoreline; the meandering jags of chalky
cliffs scrawled along the skyline. I love how the sea seems to sweat
sunbeams, as the...

The Most Well-written and Wise Self-Help Book Ever.

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: Absolutely read this! BUT...keep in mind that most of the details do not apply to you. Thoreau is honest and passionate AND an individual to the core.
Review: Henry David Thoreau and his masterpeice, Walden or Life in the Woods, has a curious reputation. The reviled enemy of highschool students throughout the US, it is simultaneously gaining respect and admiration from intellectual circles. Truth be told,...

THE American Classic

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you truly value yourself, you'll read it.
Review: It's hard for me to believe how old Thoreau's Walden actually is. The book was published in 1854, recalling experiences of ten years earlier, in 1844, when Thoreau spent over a year living in a self-built cabin on the shores of Walden Pond (actually...

Boring Boring Boring. Henry David Thoreau's "Walden Pond"

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2000
Review: Walden Pond is not a book that one would read for excitement.
Nor is it a book that one would read in search of humor, drama, or suspense. There is certainly no mystery involved and a weak plot. The only romance contained in this book is between...

He is a Hypocrite

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2000
Review: When Thoreau wrote Walden, he was expressing the need for society to go back to the basics of life. To do this Thoreau lived in the wilderness surrounding Walden Pond for two years. He used items that he found in nature to sustain himself during his...

Common Sense in 200 pages

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2000
Review: Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, is Thoreau's philosophy of life and his quest for individuality in the world. The book is really nothing more than common sense written eloquently. Thoreau's rants are sometimes thought provoking, but his opinions are...

Where would Ghandi be?

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2000
Review: "I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right." These immortal words were first written by Henry David Thoreau in response to an overnight stay in the...

Boring yet Inspiring

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2000
Review: Walden is about Henry David Throeu's experiment in living a simplified life. He goes out into the woods and writes about simplicity solitude and nature. This book is a most read for those interested in nature and simplifying their life. It offers...
