I find THIS Interesting
I got a funny look from the librarians at school today. You see I checked out this non-fiction book, they asked me if it was for a class and I said no, I am reading it for fun. I find it extremely interesting but many other people find it extraordinarily boring. The book is call Math and the Mona Lisa: The Art and Science of Leonardo Da Vinci. Only 3 chapters are solely devoted to him but the book is a fascinating history and explanation of art, science, and mathematics in the ways that the connect to each other. It discusses the golden ratio and the Marquardt mask(look it up) and lots of history about the rennaisance and development and cultural growth and scientific and mathematical advances and such. It is by Bulent Atalay, it ws published in 2004 and costs 12.99 american dollars.

I hope you read it (or not)
