This book I'm currently reading is incredibly intriguing and interesting that I thought it'd be ridiculous not to share it with others.
The Book Of The Dead - John Lloyd and John Mitchinson
It's a non-fiction sort of multiple biography told in a manner of those old wise men in movies who speak of legendary, ancient or magical figures.
It includes the lives of Florence Nightingale, Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci and much more. Specific aspects of their lives are told in an amusing means, facts about them that seem utter nonsense are revealed.

For example, Leonardo da Vinci illegally dissected 30 human corpses in order to deepen the accuracy of his drawings and fully understand how the body works.

It's full of many little stories, I'd heavily recommend for those interested in history, philosophy or simply the just interested in the mysterious lives of famous faces of the past.

I'm still reading this book and only just begun but I love it. I'm not amazing at reviews but just simply wanted to share the awesomeness.
