Bronze Age Mindset: Book Review
This book was written by Bronze Age Pervert. It is the manifesto of the anonymous twitter account who engages in powerful memes and proper broken english.
This book lays out the whos, whats, whys, and hows of the subjugation and domestication of modern man. BAP also describes, with poignant examples, the nature of a truly free man and how men can reclaim their biological call to dominate and expand his territory.
The mongol rider of the steppe, the ancient Greek warrior, the cowboy, the pirate, Achilles: these beings exemplified the ethic of vitalism accord to BAP. With the aesthetic of the strong male form, a new age is upon us.
Strong men create good times; good times create weak men; weak men create bad times; bad times create strong men; strong men with the Bronze Age Mindset break the cycle of domestication that modernity creates.
A very intriguing book. Read at your own risk. Boys of soy may be triggered by BAP's knowledge.

The Last Lion: Alone
My most recent read was The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill Alone, 1932-1940. This was volume two of William Manchester's trilogy on the life of WC. I finished it yesterday; and like part one, it was a slog. Do not let that word detract from the value of this book. It is as valuable as it is dense. Finishing books of this proportion gives the reader great satisfaction, particularly when one is a slower reader.
William Manchester does an excellent job telling the story of one of England's greatest figures. If an author is to write a biography of Churchill, this is the way to do it. His life is divided into three major acts, covering both world wars and all other parts of Churchill's rich cigar flavored story.
Part two covers WC during the build up to WWII. His struggle to strengthen the weakening Royal Navy as a distrusted back bencher and his consistent warnings about Nazi Germany bring him through the disastrous, appeasement latent government of Neville Chamberlain to the eventual ascension to the Prime Ministership in 1940, after the invasion of France and the low countries.
If you have a love of history and the life of Winston Churchill, as well as the stamina for long books, this one and the other two of the trilogy, I highly recommend.

What I Found in the Woods
A few weeks ago, I went for a hike into the wild lands of costal Virginia. A long path took me to where the trail began.
I hiked for nearly three miles through a wooded trail of uneven terrain. I tripped over roots and climbed over fallen timbers until I arrived at a platform that jetted over the water.
As I looked out over the reservoir, I saw the untamed lands in all their splendor. I thought to myself, no matter what happens among the turmoils of world politics, this will never be destroyed, short of Ragnarok.
I looked at the trees on the banks flanking me, and then I saw it!
A piece of exceedingly rare Wild Jazz. This species of musical lichen was picked to near extinction in the first half of the twentieth century. Then in the nineteen-nineties, it was again harvested to adorn disposable drinking cups.
I, myself, could not let this impossible opportunity pass without cutting a piece of it to take.
Meanwhile, I think the rangers were on to me. This canoe followed me along the reservoir trail.
Despite the difficulties of stealthy movement, I escaped the rangers' apprehension.
In celebration, I think I'll start a jazz quartet.
