Review of 'Nature' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Not an easy book. Unlike Self Reliance, I feel like I interpreted less than what was said. Not many clear passages, and I'm still kind of trying to figure out what the main point was.

In general, he is still a pleasure to read. The feeling you get while reading (when you're not reading dictionary definitions) is still heartwarming and hope-inducing.

But I won't pretend I get it. Maybe I'm just not in the mindspace for it, but there was a lot of meandering, highly abstract terms, which are very hard to follow after a while.
