Really though. This dude lives in the middle of nowhere on bare necessities, and writes a 162-page book explaining why.
“I think he’s on shrooms.” A girl in my class said today.
I think he’s been in nature for too long.
But its not just the philosophy and figurative language that gets ya. Its the run-on sentences.
It’s the page-long paragraphs.

I love complex compound-sentences. Not all of them are run-ons. I actually used to see how few sentences I could get away with in English classes because I could draft them in such a way that it wasn’t apparent. Most of my paragraphs were two to three sentences regardless of the length of the paragraph.

At least that was quasi-poetry. Dickens used to piss me off because I thought he was just trying to see how many commas he could shove into a “sentence.”

When you are alone long enough, it begins to have a certain affectation on your mind. I think that may have been a certain amount of what was going on with him when he wrote that.

I think he went quite mad, and found that he liked it.

You should read “Johnny Got His Gun” next, it’s all stream of consciousness, so it largely dispenses with any sort of traditional writing structure.

My wife had a professor in college who would give take home exams in which the students had to write a paper using only 6 sentences. They could be as long as they wanted, although not run on sentences, they had to be properly punctuated and follow all the rules of correct grammar. But 6 sentences was it.

Ugh, Walden. I’m a huge fan of Thoreau but that book was freaking painful.
