A review by mattleesharp
Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud

3.0

Engaging thought exercises? Important writing? Pioneering work? The answer's yes to all of that, but this book just didn't hold my interest for whatever reason. I'm not just bowled over by Freud like some. It's difficult to go back to source material, to look at things we've improved upon. This was as irritating to read as Herodotus.
