Review 371: Common Sense

Common Sense Common Sense by Thomas Paine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This is a short book of essays, that I listened to entirely in one day. 

A complete dig at a monarch system of government and for independence and self-rule. 


I've wanted to read some of Paine's writings for a long while, other than the excerpts I read while in college. Maybe more of his writings later this year. Next is a biography.
