I'd highly recommend "Civil Disobendience" by Henry Thoreau. It's been quite a while since I've read this and damn, this short book could have been written yesterday.

Dude goes to jail because he says it's morally wrong to pay taxes to a government that allows slavery and is fighting a war with Mexico. He was also against a standing army.

Someone pays his tax bill so he released after 1 night. He protests but they kick him out.

Yes it's from the 1880s, but this guy would have been stacking sats on his farm in his cabin in 2024.

Walden is great meditative nature writing

I'll never forget his descriptions of the loon
