### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Surprisingly quick Ave easy read that's worth the time
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2022*

Tbh I only started reading this because I was offline away from the internet and it was already on my phone. But that said, I found it surprisingly readable for a modern audience. The arguments are cogently conceived, clearly presented, and well developed throughout the book.In terms of the philosophy and picture of the world presented, it leans a bit libertarian for my taste, altho I do think sane people in general and people on the left in specific can still find a lot to chew on and build off of. I'm completely aligned on the idea that the most fundamental actions any person can take are those in alignment with their code of ethics; but it feels like Thoreau is too focused on the idea of an individual as a unit of humanity and hasn't really considered the basic premise of collective solidarity: that groups of humans acting in concert can accomplish actions synergistically greater than the sum of their parts.

    A great essay!
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2014*

I've always thought of Thoreau as a peace loving writer.  His poems, psalms and writings are of a naturalists perspective.  Loved to take walks in the forest, think, and be merry.  Thoreau surprised me on this essay.  He clearly showed the disdain the rest of us do at times as we live in the context of humanity.  It's no wonder Thoreau was a bit of a loner, self-described in fact.  He speaks of his time serving a very short sentence in the local jailhouse.  He speaks out against taxation, slavery and other human conditions that still exist today.  He's angry at authority and the sheep humanity is to authority.Thoreau didn't hate people, understood that he needed them to maintain the current standard of living he had.  In this essay he describes feelings many of us probably have had or have now regarding society in general and societal ills caused by urbanization. Either way, great essay, short read.

    Notes on democracy
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2021*

Timely, with Democracy under siege here and all over the world. A bit stilted by today's standards but very applicable.
