I tried to read it when I was younger and at a lower reading level and I just got too lost in the way he would write

Read it in high school. AP Lang teacher practically lived his life by the wise teachings of the book, so he was knowledgeable and incredibly helpful with analysis and went really in-depth into every idea the book presented and from all angles. It was my first experience with more 'real' analysis of literature; I didn't care too much for the book itself, but that experience in class I must say I thoreauly enjoyed. :)

I'll read once I've read all the good books.

Couldn't get through it. I like his whole "let's make my vacation profound" shtick but he's too hardline about it.

I've read enough to know that I'm probably not interested in ever reading it
