TBR Challenge #2 - The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

  SYNOPSIS  Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.   REVIEW   It has certainly been a while since I’ve picked up a book of philosophy. To be honest, since finishing my university course I thought that at the time, I might never pick up a book again in this genre. But here I am. What a failed attempt. But I do certainly love the scope of this type of philosophy and Rousseau did not disappoint. Not only was the ideas easy to relate to, but simple to read as well.

My new reading challenge…

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing great and having a lovely week. I just wanted to introduce you all to my brand new challenge that I will be taking part in. My very own TBR challenge! As most of you will already be aware, I have a very bad book addiction. Very bad. Terrible. But because I buy more than I can read, this has lead to many fantastic reads sitting on the bookshelf ready to have their day to be read. Well, hopefully that will soon become a distant memory… and maybe stop my bank account from screaming every-time I wander into the bookstore. From now on, I pledge to make a review of all the books I read from my TBR list. Some reviews might be big, some small. But the main thing is, I will be reading! I hope you all follow me on this crazy journey because if I’m being honest, there are a lot. I haven’t counted in a while but it must be in the 240 range. Wish me luck and I will be writing very soon…
