    Nathan Leslie History 1700 Monday 7:00 PM Walden (1854) By: Henry David Thoreau I have always been a fan of Henry Thoreau; my house is littered of quotes of his that I like to think I live my life by. One of my favorites is very apparent in this entry from Walden‚ a book that I have read many times‚ “That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest”.
