I got pic related from my sister, it's fantastic. I've been on a travel kick trying to see all the world's best art so this is great for my planning. And it's semi hard cover (a little floppy) which keeps it nice while I travel with it (already wrecked one paperback...).

My brother also wrote a fantasy book that I'm reading as his beta reader, so that's kind of cool to be the first person to read it.

Please expand on that, what's wrong with that person? I thought it was from a tv show or something but I don't watch tv so I don't know.

I figure it's at least a good way not to miss something super duper famous.

>>21434675
Yeah I wasn't big on art books before but now that I've seen them in person I kind of want some of at least my favorite artists. So far I have an artbook of Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings and two from the San Severo Chapel museum in Naples (fantastic, highly recommend it. If you have to choose between Pompei and that museum I'd recommend San Severo Chapel).

My first kiss was with a drunk girl. She literally just started kissing me out of nowhere. She also held my hand later on when we dated for a bit. There was another time a drunk girl held my hand and gave me a hug in front of her boyfriend (who was the DJ of the club we were dancing at). But I’ve never had unprotected sex and I’ve never been loved so I think kisses and handholding are a bit overrated. Get near drunk girls and sexy contact might happen.

He's a bit cringe being a shallow tour guide for Murican boomers. Though for a subject like this it doesn't really matter.

If you're only gonna read (instead of looking at pictures) one art book I recommend Gombrich's Story of Art. The Phaidon one is well illustrated and the perspective (while slightly progressive in his day) is classical western canon by today's standard.

It's the Folio Society edition. The artist is Gérard DuBois who also illustrated their edition of The Road. Those two are all the McCarthy they've published so far.
