Ach! I haven't read the book yet and I've had it since Crimbo.I started it but kept going but,but and gave up in disgust.As if Da vinci had time for all the things he is supposed to have been at the bottom of.
Mind I think part of it was that stupid Veritas series was being shown on SciFi channel and that had similar stuff about the poor guy.It sort of irritated me.
Oh and didn't Dr Who drag him into a show once?
The pity is that people fail entirely to appreciate the great artist he was because of all this guff.
