Hojoki: Visions of a Torn World by Kamo No Chomei

4.0

I only read the beginning essay, "The Ten Foot Square Hut," which is too short to publish on its own. Easily read in an hour or less, with some interesting accounts of medieval Japanese history, as well as insights on living simply. This guy was the original Thoreau, and way more hardcore. He lived in a TEN-SQUARE-FOOT house! Henry David ain't got nothing on that.
