Walden

Henry David Thoreau was a strange fellow. You can learn more about him from this book than from the excellent Ken Burn's produced documentary on Thoreau.

This book stirred that sense of translating divergent thoughts into artistic, economic, something or anothers. It's not the easiest read for the modern reader. But most all of it translates into relevancy for modern living. Maybe more than ever.

If you're feeling classical but not necessarily Plato's The Republic level of classic, then this is a good read to get angry and inspired.
