About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Elements of DrawingThe Elements of Drawing by John Ruskin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I started to read this classic (published in 1857) book of art instruction in 2018 when I first downloaded it from Project Gutenberg. I managed to move a copy to my Nook library in 2019 where I read some of it. It was no longer in my Nook library in Nov 2019 when the Overdrive app no longer worked on my Nook. I was able to finish reading the ebook on my Overdrive app on my laptop.
I took a star away from this classic because I am not sure today's readers will enjoy the sentence structure and prose style of a 19th century writer.
