@GlennF Have you read Ross King's "The Bookseller of Florence?" Fascinating look at the world of scribes being taken over by the world of printing in 1450 Florence, Italy.

Robert Rodriguez, host of Something About the Beatles podcast @SATBshow literally wrote the book on the Beatles Revolver album. His podcast has covered many aspects of this epochal work. Worth your time to check it out. How good is it? "Get Back" director Peter Jackson listens! https://t.co/QNU0rz1Jcq

My 20-something kids groaned a bit when I suggested watching the 1987 version of the Dylan Thomas memoir "A Child's Christmas in Wales." Ten minutes later, they were transfixed. At the end of the one hour program, they wanted to make it a tradition. Lovely https://t.co/MEIHqeE82o

Weird. I'm reading "Brunelleschi's Dome" by Ross King right now. Different Ross King, I guess. Great book, though... https://t.co/j9W7pFvwfL

I would choose three books that teach about the self, about America, and about democracy: "The Consolation of Philosophy" (524 AD, Boethius); "Domestic Manners of the Americans (Fanny Trollope 1832); "Two Treatises of Government" (1679, John Locke) https://t.co/dG0OO0irPK

I just finished a book about Dante which concluded that without his banishment from Florence he would have never created The Divine Comedy. In “A Moveable Feast,“ Hemingway writes about needing to get away from Michigan to write about it. Distance can inspire creativity. https://t.co/koxjo6cu5M

1816--Reknowned poet Percy Bysse Shelley (of Ozymandias fame) marries Mary Godwin. Mary will go on to write Frankenstein and arguably become the more famous of the pair… wonder what ole Percy made of that…. https://t.co/rdRF2LnZBU

I'll be revisiting "Domestic Manners of the Americans" 1832 by Fanny Trollope, mother of noted British writer Anthony Trollope. It's a fascinating travel diary through the south during slavery by a lyrical British woman writer. Her observations are amazing. Highly recommend. https://t.co/1BNNzsBJ1d
