Three main types of books I'm into:
-Fantasy (pure indulgence)
-Childrens (also fun- none of this pretentious "YA" crap)
-Classics (this is where I'm "leveling up" my intelligence stats. +1!)
Beautiful imagery, but flawed. Thoreau is at his most poetic when he describes nature and his surroundings. He's pretty detached from reality, though. He doesn't seem to get that life isn't that easy for anyone.
