Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág<p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/PolymathReadingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PolymathReadingChallenge</span></a> book 3 (History of Music)</p><p>Honestly I never really got the whole opera thing, but now I am suspecting they were teaching it wrong in Music class. This book was a wild ride, more adventurous than any novel a writer could have come up with. Da Ponte is a holy fool, a hopeless romantic, a charming idiot, an annoying genius, an easy mark, a talented poet, a self-absorbed weirdo, and an all-around fascinating character.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/opera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opera</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nonfiction</span></a></p>

Así que, aquí va: me gustan los juegos de mesa, mi favorito es So Clover! Soy medio adicto al Rocket League, aunque me quedé en champ. Me gustan las matemáticas, tengo la meta de leer y resolver todos los libros de matemáticas que tengo. Juega basket los Domingos, soy malo, pero lo disfruto. </p><p>En la actualidad estoy llenando mi solicitud para ingresar a la maestría, tengo la intención de correr medio maratón, hacer 4 reps de 10 dominadas y me uní al <a href="https://mast.lat/tags/polymathreadingchallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polymathreadingchallenge</span></a> (aunque no creo leer los 12 libros). </p><p>Saludos a la tan amiable banda mastodonte.</p>

A Dutch sea captain brought a tame Indian rhino named Clara to Europe, and toured the entire continent with her for 20 years. She didn't only become the first well-known example of her species - but also the subject of the first viral marketing campaign in history.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nonfiction</span></a></p>

Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág<p>So, this year I inherited the Polymath Reading Challenge from its creator. 📚 </p><p>It is a yearly 12-book nonfiction reading challenge. You read books of your choice for 12 categories, and post your reviews of them. I have had immense fun finding books for topics I otherwise wouldn't read.</p><p>Would people want to join in if I also ran it on Mastodon?</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/PolymathReadingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PolymathReadingChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/ReadingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nonfiction</span></a></p>
