X=Read

This was from Wikipedia. I'm going to finish the Walls biography and read more books about Thoreau, but I'm going to also try and read his original works to the best of my ability.

I thought about trying to determine how many pages each thing was, and then spreading it over a year, but I know I'm not good at sticking to schedules, I'm better at going at my own pace.

Some of these things will be harder to find than others. For instance the first one isn't in my essays electronic book. So I included the link where I found it.


Other things to consume, to be considered:

Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau--Michael Johnathon's theatrical play. YouTube
