What book are you reading now?

[He Man]

I'm reading a good biography: Leonardo da Vinci (Walter Isaacson).
Heavy, comprehensive treatment of Leonardo's life and ideas. Book utilizes a lot of Leonardo's sketches & paintings. 500+ pages total, I'm currently about a quarter thru it..

Way too many. I know I should stop starting books while I’m still reading other ones but I can’t help myself! The ones I’m mainly reading are Jane Eyre, a bio on Beethoven, and Nausea by Sartre

 

[He Man]

Ask the Dust (John Fante)

Young, struggling writer in 1930s Los Angeles.. navigating life, looking for love etc. I'm 30 pages in..

Incidentally, anyone know if the author's name is pronounced FANT, or FANT-uh ?

I've always been an avid reader but anxiety has taken a toll on that as well, in the sense that when it's bad I go for silly, light books that I would have never given a second glance to years ago. They do provide a bit of distraction, so they're helpful in that way, but I miss my favorite genres.

I'm currently reading a non-fiction book about dog language.
