Enormously popular and widely read pamphlet, first published in January of 1776, clearly and persuasively argues for American separation from Great Britain and paves the way for the Declaration of Independence.

Great Read
Wonderful insight into the mindset and thinking of the Founding Fathers. A bit dense, but well worth the effort.
Critical thinking in RIghts of man
Get some insight into the Founders thinking when they were formulating the Constitution of the USA. These philosophical minds purported timeless truths that influenced many who were instrumental in our Foundation documents. Jefferson and Hamilton and others read and studied these, and n the bio you can get a feel for what influenced Paine to write these folk. Anyone interested in Constitutional History and thought should read this.
Everything old is new again
It's suprising how much things have changed and how much remains the same. Although it was written under circumstances quite unlike todays, he makes, for the most part, a good argument for revolution. It was fun to try to get inside the mindset of that time.

OIlder writings are so compelling to me because the majority of people today act and speak in a similar manner.
Relevant for today as you can see may parallels
"... let none be heard among us, then those of A GOOD CITIZEN, ANOPEN AND RESOLUTE FRIEND, AND A VIRTUOUS SUPPORTER OF THE RIGHTS OF MANKIND..."
If you don't see the above quote in your copy evidently there are different copies of "Common Sense" with some variances. All have the standard four chapters; additions have other materials... Most of the versions I have come in books marked "Common Sense and other writings by Thomas Payne."
As you read "Common Sense" you'll realize there are several ways you can approach this information. One way is to look at it in the time period that it was written as one of his target readers. Another is to apply it to today's way of life. I actually had chosen as a combination. I also thought that I knew the Bible pretty well but found that I had to look up some quotations that he used.
I'm not going to go into detail as I don't want to spoil the surprise of how well he writes on the subject(s). I will say this is one of those books that you want to read before you die but I prefer to read it early so I can live by what I've read. Also I was surprised as with most people quote things like the Constitution or of the Bill of Rights so forth they always quote the large esoteric statements or concepts and forget tell you that it can get bogged down with tedium. This is not the case of "Common Sense" as almost every one of his sentences as a standalone timeless thought.
