Thoreau.


Time to throw out some writers who have made a positive impact on my life and writing!  I'll present these authors in a few words, and make a suggested reading.

Today I recommend:

Naturalist and gifted writer/wild animal Thoreau's life, as recorded by himself.   You get to sit on his shoulder as he takes you through his life experiences.  It is like nothing else I've ever read.  He manages to express thoughts that we've all had in ways so beautiful it will make you rethink your own world.  It's available for around $15 on amazon if you follow this link.
