The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo by Irving Stone
I couldn't decide if this should be in the fiction or nonfiction section. I guess I could put it in both. I was assigned to read this book before my month long educational stay in Florence. Needless to say, I didn't read it. Not until I came back and a wave of homesickness for Italy hit me. Michelangelo is one of the most amazing individuals to ever walk the planet. Of course, you should take this biography with a grain of salt, but nevertheless it's a good read.
