A review by paulusm
Reveries of the Solitary Walker by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

3.0

Read this not know knowing much about his life and he seemed pretty misanthropic and paranoid in much of it (though I liked that!). Having looked at his biog I can now see he had some justification for feeling like this. Elsewhere some nice thoughts about happiness and resilience. Early sections in particular had very long sentences where I lost the thread completely, if there was one..
