Title: Torture!
Review: As a social studies teacher and a student of history one can not deny the importance of Thoreau's views on civil disobedience. The impact of his teachings on the world are amazing. Thoreau's views on civil disobedience and their affect on Martin Luther King and Ghandi helped make this world a better place. So again, I understand why Thoreau is important.Now onto Walden Pond. Do people actually read this and enjoy it? I was required to read this for a masters course in early American Intellectual Thought and man I will never read this again.Pages and pages of boring unimportant information about his daily life....zzzzz. How does anyone enjoy reading about how he built his hut or what clothes he wears. Can he bore us some more with his agricultural failures? This book was torture. Yes Thoreau is important, but so is my time and reading this book was a complete waste.If you have trouble sleeping, pick up this book
