I don't think I actually finished a book I was supposed to read for class from ever since I finished ninth grade. I remember in my old AP Lang class, I lost steam halfway through and could not for the life of me finish Walden by Henry David Thoreau, but my teacher was new and young and cool, so she tells me if I write up a however many page essay on the book, she'd take the failed quizzes off the grade book. So I spent the next day writing an essay about why Henry David Thoreau is an egotistical jerk with no right to writing any book, much less one about how much better he is that whoever's reading it.

I just... He got to me. I feel like Thoreau wrote specifically to irritate whoever read his work.

I enjoyed Walden. Thoreau shared a unique perspective on life and I actually learned a few things from it. I can definitely see why people wouldn't like his work though. It's not as... fun. xD

Eh, whatever floats your boat, I guess. If you learned something, power to you.

Except you're wrong, fight me in real life!
