Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
5.0

Even as a kid I've always looked up to Leonardo and the way he approaches everything with the curiosity of a child. He does not discriminate between fields, and is very knowledgeable in both arts and sciences. Through his story and his notebooks, I renewed my sense of wonder and appreciation not just for the arts but also for the sciences (especially anatomy) after years of studying them. I definitely see myself rereading this book again at some point.

It's not a spoiler that he dies but I still got sad when I got to it :( "The soup is getting cold" now joins "My battery is low and it's getting dark" as last words that will make me teary ㅠㅠ
