I love Walden. Now that I'm a man of means, <g> I have my own land with a nice sized pond on it. Too bad my wife won't let me move out there for a year or two. <ng>

Thoreau was single wasn't he?

very good...do you know Schopenhauer?

"die Welt ist ein Jammertal, das Leben eine Folter...."

(the world is a valley of sorrows, life a torture....)

best of all however is Cioran....his two most famous works are "The Misfortune of Being Born" and "Syllogisms of Bitterness".

very uplifting stuff...better not to read it aloud to people standing on a window's ledge however...
