Get a quite place to read without any distractions. Make sure you aren’t sleepy or anything like that [reading on your bed would probably be a bad idea]. Read more slowly than you usually would, re-read if you have to and think about what you read. Take the time you need to process.

If you keep reading I’m sure it’ll get easier and easier to understand Walden and other authors. I’ve never used Sparknotes/Cliffnotes/etc. so I have no opinion on those. >_>
