But in my youth, I was very much into solitude and nature (and still I am); so that is what attracted me to Walden. : )Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301853376184312607.post-60734744887592155982022-08-24T18:19:01.620-07:002022-08-24T18:19:01.620-07:00I enjoyed some of your favourites, too, but I'...I enjoyed some of your favourites, too, but I've never been able to bring myself to read Walden after reading about his life - I can't even remember what it was but it made him seem rather fake.

I feel like three-fourths of it was NF, esp that whale anatomy chapter. Still, MD was quite a literary journey. Definitely mystic, as you called it. Even spiritual.

I'm glad you enjoyed Moby-Dick, though I suppose the pool helped. I soldiered through that one and derived entirely too much fun by writing a tongue-in-cheek review of it that treated it like a nonfiction title.
