I read this yesterday. Totally agree. None of the ideas were very radical or new to me. I've long held the view that nobody has authority over me. I am sovereign and I live as ungoverned as I am practically able. I don't vote and don't care about political parties. It's all nonsense.

It's a good book, very much worth reading and if it was your first in this area it would be a very good one to start with.

There is one thing in the book that I'm still thinking about:

"people cannot delegate rights they do not have, which makes it impossible for anyone to acquire the right to rule"

basically all government (authority) is illegitimate because nobody can give the government rights that no individual has.

This ultimately leads to the sovereign discovery - 

“When the people recognize and accept no master, they will have no master.”
