Frizz reviewed Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday
Good practical advice
3 stars
This is a good book about the application of Stoic philosophy to our lives. Where it fails is the neoliberal praise of people like Winston Churchill. I could do without being told how great the man who enjoyed starving Germans was.

Better than the original
4 stars
I liked this more than Foundation, but it’s still difficult to read old science fiction. It’s just not written as I would expect, like when the war is ended completely off screen in the first part.. But, this book is very good and the ending is superb, even if you do see the “twist” coming from a mile away.

Still the best
5 stars
A classic. I find new things every time I read it.
Frizz reviewed Mighty Fitz by Michael Schumacher
Great read on niche subject
4 stars
This is a great introduction to the Edmund Fitzgerald and everything surrounding its sinking. I would have liked a little more background on the men on the ship other than the captain, and especially more about the families of the men who died. Overall, though, great book.
Frizz reviewed American Predator by Maureen Callahan
He's not a super genius
3 stars
This book is very good and does a great job showing how Israel Keyes was caught by law enforcement. It also goes into great detail on how the same law enforcement completely screwed up the case after he was caught. Overall, this is a good book, but I'm not a fan of how Keyes is portrayed as some kind of genius serial killer along the lines of Hannibal Lector. He wasn't a genius and he's not a movie villain. He was a dumb loser with grandiose delusions.
