dont read: Walden by Thoreau, book of five rings, anything "philosophical" from Camus

I really wanted to like this book but it was just boring. He didnt even really live in nature, he lived in a cabin and had guests all the time, traded with people, sold some beans to the next door villagers etc. It just didnt feel like he actually wanted to live in the woods but just try it out to tell people about it. Its almost like going in the woods and taking some pictures, so you can show people that you are one with nature.

I have a feeling that it is partly satire and everyone took it straight

what parts of it are satire? i would just assume that he was a little pretentious, thats all.
