if you’ve ever wondered how to connect the rich tapestry of philosophical constructs with the blissed-out joy of riding the tube of a perfect wave, then ["Surfing with Sartre"] is for you ... Aaron James is no Barney. He’s no hodad. He’s not a kook or a jake or a Stu. He’s a gnarly dude whose book is totally tubular.

Killers of the Flower Moon is a gripping tale, masterfully told. When murderers escape justice, Grann notes, “history can often provide at least some final accounting.” While it’s too late to identify, let alone punish, all those who preyed on the Osage, this book ensures these brutal crimes will never again be forgotten.

Stone is easily distracted, and will brake for a good anecdote, whether or not it has anything to do with sex or the Constitution. His book takes off, though, when we approach the present.

...it is lively, provocative and sure to be another hit among the pooh-bahs. But readers ought to be prepared: Almost every blithe pronouncement Harari makes (that “the free individual is just a fictional tale concocted by an assembly of biochemical algorithms,” for instance) has been the exclusive subject of far more nuanced books...
