I've also always loved art history. If it weren't virtually required to get a doctorate, I'd want to be an art historian. I adore looking into the art that was made in the past and relating the historical events surrounding it. One of my many beloved artists is Jacques Louis David (with whom I happen to share a birthday). I also happen to be reading a book right now in which David is a key character. The Eight plays to my love of history and art. It also takes some of the people depicted in his paintings and brings them to life as dimensional characters. I won't say who for any of the nerdy people who might want to read the book, but two figures in the above painting, The Intervention of the Sabine Women, play major roles in this book.
Well, now I suppose I'll stop lending too much information about my uber nerdy self.
