I got a little bogged down with all the details of fashioning things for his living, I never did figure out how he jury-rigged a remote for his TV. Anyway, it's amazing how far we as a society has gotten away from his attitudes of independence, we just seem to get busier and busier.

Thoreau's classic memoir of his time at Walden Pond, read by poet Archibald MacLeish - a marvelous recording of a timeless and thought-provoking essay.

This is an ABRIDGED version. Not worth the purchase.

Why would you need a sleeping pill when you could listen to this? I was excited to get this audio several years ago and was greatly disappointed. I find it incredibly ironic that Thoreau wrote a book about simplistic living that drones on and on. I think the audio reader was even bored by this. Everything in this book could have been said in 30 pages, now that would have been simplistic living. What a huge disappointment.
