Environmental Book Club: 'Walden' - Arlington
Originally published in 1854, Walden; or, Life in the Woods, is a vivid account of the time that Henry D. Thoreau lived alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. Thoreau was a minimalist before being a minimalist was cool. His words and observations are just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them over 150 years ago. We would very likely have enjoyed visiting him at his cabin just to talk and observe nature with him.
Come to the meeting for the discussion whether you have read the book or not. At this meeting we will also discuss the next environmental/nature book or article we want to read.
