| Anyone here read him? He's become my favorite person in history by far, surpassing John Lennon ( ) even.Read Civil Disobedience, there's some great shit in there. You can print it out from Wikisource. He also has Walden, A Walk in the Woods, etc. He is so great. I always love authors who you'd like to have a coffee with, and Thoreau is exactly that.

| I'm reading Walden right now He combines Eastern philosophy with romantic era lifestyle, very interesting, and loads of wisdom throughout his work. |

| Walden is fantastic. Thoreau is very much a Naturalist, probabably one of the first, and I love him for it. There is actually an organization called the "Thoreau Society" which puts out publications and has group meetings and stuff. http://www.thoreausociety.org/ I'm not apart of it but I find it cool that he has that much of a following, and he's been dead for how many years now? It's a testament to how great and pertainent his works are.
