Pleased to report finishing Walden today. It'll be good to get away from the Pond, though I must say the longer I stayed the more enjoyable the experience proved. By the time I reached the Winter sequences towards the end I was becoming a bit of a Thoreau fan. That's something I've found with other writers I've had to persevere with. Somehow you teach yourself how to read the blighters.
In fact, I was tempted to get going on the next work in the American Library edition I'm proud to own - an account of a trip, more than one, I think, to The Maine Woods. But I think it's time to get back to something that slips down with less of a struggle, and convince myself I'm still capable of reading at something beyond a snail's pace.
