11-6-22: Spent the day at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. Most of the buildings on campus were created by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was beautiful. This was the Roux library. The whole place was fascinating. 📖📚☀️

This is a book club choice, the subject of which I have no previous knowledge of.

Unfortunately the only edition in the library is large print so it's a whopper!

JamieArc I think it‘s best you have no knowledge of it. This book stayed with me for a while. 3y
BarbaraBB I unexpectedly enjoyed this book a lot! 3y

Heard about this one on a podcast and found it in the library on the same day. Score! I had no idea about the tragedy involving Frank Lloyd Wright‘s mistress. Obviously I haven‘t read Loving Frank yet but that might be up next along with The Women by TC Boyle. Time for a FLW deep dive.

Favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon, curled up with a mug of sweet coffee and a book. Frank Lloyd Wright is my all time favorite architect, I‘m loving reading about him, while also developing some serious judgements on his character. Character faults aside he is without a doubt a master of architecture

After putting this off for the whole of the year I can finally join in all the love and say, what a book! Detailing the scandalous relationship between architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his married client Mamah Borthwick Cheney, we come to know a woman making decisions and leading a life well ahead of her time in the early 1900s. I‘m surprised I don‘t know more about her, so down the🐰 🕳 I go!

Freespirit Sounds like a must read Jenny😍 5y
JennyM @Freespirit it‘s what I think of as a rich and satisfying read. I wish I hadn‘t put it off for so long! 5y
Cinfhen This is STILL on my list!!!!! Maybe 2020 will be the year I finally read it. 5y

JennyM @Cinfhen not what I expected at all and in a really good way. She was a courageous lady! Hope you enjoy when you get to it (edited) 5y
Kalalalatja I can‘t believe that your posts about it is the first time I noticed it! I‘m definitely stacking it 📚 5y
squirrelbrain What @Kalalalatja said - and I‘m also stacking! 5y
JennyM @squirrelbrain @Kalalalatja I think it might have been the very wonderful @BarbaraBB who put it on my radar! 5y
CarolynM I have it stacked already (maybe from @BarbaraBB too) but I'm bumping it up my priority list on your recommendation 🙂 5y
AlaMich FLW was a fascinating man. I was lucky enough to visit Taliesin in Arizona and it‘s absolutely worth a visit if you‘re ever there. 5y
BarbaraBB I don‘t know if it was me but I did read it and loved it! I mentioned recently (maybe to you) that I bought another book about FLW immediately afterwards. Haven‘t read it yet though. 5y
JennyM @AlaMich I can imagine that being fantastic! Their story has really made me curious to know more about them both. 5y
JennyM @BarbaraBB I will have to check this one out as well. Fascinating character. 5y
JennyM @CarolynM hope you enjoy it Carolyn. It‘s quite a story! 5y

Annl I live in winter haven about 30 minutes in the other direction but I know there are quite a few centrally located littens. 5y
Annl If you ever need another place to visit Bok Tower in Lake Wales( about 30 minutes se of Lakeland) is amazing! 5y
