Query: One of those "classics" that is a chore to read

I hate to say it but this book is really boring. The author has a fluid prose style but goes on too long on a few original ideas as if she is showing to us half-wits how pretty she can write.I did find some incidents interesting. For example, her ruminations on hiking in her local environs. But certainly a few pages would be sufficient to describe this and her thoughts. Dillard just can't seem to say anything without examining its every nuance and tiring the reader.In short, I don't particularly like or dislike this book, but I expected more from its reputation. Save this book for later, is my recommendation.
