Thoreau, Walden and Life in the Woods

Is this a book I'd want to carry with me during my 3 months stay on Croatia mountain?
Or is it a beautiful result of a grumpy and bitter guy ?
I'm trying to understand from the reviews but I cannot.

it's a classic, but carrying it around while you're roaming just to have it seems... I guess I'd call it kinda pretentious? I'd say read it first and see how well the message in it (or at least what message you get out of it) resonates with you. if it does and you really like it, keep a copy. if it doesn't, carry around 'the girl who played with fire' or whatever else you might enjoy.

@dirge there's nothing pretentious here.
It's a book carrying something, a soul and a way to see the world ❤
I don't like re-reading a book just after I've read it! I'd like at least a few years apart before I read it again.
'the girl who played with fire' sounds interesting as a title... what is it about ?

@being it came out years ago, stieg larsson. part of a trilogy. actually I think the first was 'the girl with the dragon tattoo', it exploded for a while. an investigative journalist starts working on a mystery he's been hired to unravel, meets a bad ass computer dork girl who helps him out. the rest of the series is pretty much focused on her. wow, it came out in 2006; I thought it was more recent than that.
