Paul Matthews reviewed Reveries of the solitary walker by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Penguin classics)
Review of 'Reveries of the Solitary Walker' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
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..
