Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
Ross King
I will now provide a book review in thread form for "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" by Ross King. First of all, no, that furious short bear did NOT paint that fucker all by himself on his back. He stood up and had lots of help.

A People's History of the United States: The Civil War to the Present

Leonardo Da Vinci
Walter Isaacson
@j_smithcameron YES. I was loved the audiobook for "Leonardo da Vinci" by Walter Isaacson, narrated by Alfred Molina. And now I'm getting into "Death in Florence" by Paul Strathern, narrated by Derek Perkins. It was such an extraordinary and dangerous time, and they were such geniuses.
