Waldenesque Books (6 books)

Books about escaping city life, returning to nature, living off the land, foraging for food, perhaps becoming a bit of a hermit in the process, etc. It's a certain brand of nature writing and/or fiction that goes deeply into man's relationship with nature. Channel Henry David Thoreau and, to a certain degree, Michael Pollan. Then you should be good to go.
