The fifty-seventh book: #47 Reveries of the Solitary Walker - jean-Jacques Rousseau
So after a long story of family life, my next book is a shorter, unfinished work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's musings while he was walking around Paris. These are mostly philosophical musings about life and society, I can't really find much interest in such high ideas and my attention drifts quite quickly when it keeps going, so this didn't feel worth it - there wasn't enough substance to it and I would rather have heard more of the actual work, observing and commenting on the world around him rather than theorizing. For those interested, I'm sure this would work better, but not for me as a casual reader.
