Review of 'Walden' on 'Goodreads'

I heard this was a classic of philosophy so thought I'd give it a try. I didn't manage to get through it as it read like a self-righteous treatise on why the choices of the author make him so much better than everyone else. Very disappointing.

Review of 'Walden' on 'Goodreads'

I don't like adding books I haven't finished to Goodreads. But I didn't finish this one, 'cause I hated it. I read it for school. I think that Thoreau was an annoying wanker. Maybe I should try to re-read it, since I was 17 at the time. Maybe my reaction would be different now.
