Never Too Late: My Musical Life Story | John Holt

I'm humbly showing the six books I read in September😌I'm a slow reader but someday....I will read more books per month....someday😉

Tamra Quality over quantity! Life is busy too, I can only fit in so much. 5y

Gissy @Tamra True! Sometimes I can only read a couple of minutes before I go to sleep. But I enjoy what I read, quality reading as you said!😃 5y

Cpg That would be a feat for me!!! I read 2 in the last week or so and that was unusual! 5y

Gissy @Cpg We are normal readers I guess☺️Every time I see persons reading over 10 per month, I say to myself that they are supernatural readers😂amazing! But my problem is not that I am a slow reader, my problem is that I accumulate books like a fast reader😳stacks, piles of beautiful, lovely books!📚📚📚❤️❤️❤️❤️😌 5y

Chrissyreadit That is great!!!! 5y

LeahBergen Happy Birthday!!! 📚😘📚😘 5y

Cpg @Gissy I am a “book collector” then! 😆😆😆 I am always on the holds lists for all the libraries in my county! I think if I could devote hours each day I would be an “avid reader”! ***But for now I‘ve got many “things” going on- with grandchildren and young adult children! Lots of joy though❣️ 5y

Leonardo Da Vinci: A Life from Beginning to End | Hourly History

pick

REALLY short, more like a half hour, but it gave a great over view of Leonard da Vinci‘s life. It‘s a good starting point. This would be great for kids. Each chapter is really short with very simple, straight forward language. Add in a book with his art and/or images of his notebooks and you‘re good to go. It‘s much better than Isaacson droning on about his sexuality and appearance.

GingerAntics I‘m glad I picked this up and I‘m ready to jump into Da Vinci‘s Ghost. 6y

I think that last sentence is probably the most important part. We‘re lucky we have what we do of this indicative man. Why waste time lamenting what we don‘t have, and enjoy and learn from what we do have.

These are supposedly Leonardo da Vinci‘s last words. They definitely give you something to think about.

Here‘s hoping this is far less insufferable than Isaacson‘s book. The intro is already more entertaining.

Leonardo da Vinci | Walter Isaacson

This is one of my favorite drawings ever. I‘ve been obsessed with it since I was a kid. I like this deeper analysis of it. (I wonder if there is a book completely about this drawing...hm)

wanderinglynn I haven‘t read it, but there is one by historian Toby Lester:

Da Vinci's Ghost: Genius, Obsession, and How Leonardo Created the World in His Own Image

GingerAntics @wanderinglynn I actually just added that to my wish list in Apple Books. I wasn‘t aware that was mostly about Vatruvian Man, so that‘s another plus for that book. Thanks for the recommendation. 6y

Leonardo da Vinci | Walter Isaacson

I would really like to see his sources on this. It‘s nothing more than speculation. He MAY have been gay, he equally as likely was what we would call bisexual today. Hell, he could have been secretly having sex with every woman he came into contact with for all we know. I‘ve yet to see anything conclusive on this, but Isaacson seems stuck on it. In fact, I‘m beginning to think he‘s got a man crush on Leo.

Why grow up? Intellectually, Leo never did.
