Gombrich’s Story of Art maybe. I’ve been meaning to read a general history of art or painting for a long time. I’m also looking forward to your piece on Malcolm X (I think you mentioned you were writing one). I came across his “late bloomer” story in a book by Mark Bauerlein and I was fascinated.
I loved these two pieces (and the Substack, a recent discovery). Makes me realise how poor my own excuses for not learning and reading more have been.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the essays. What will you read next?

Malcolm X will be in my book. Gombrich is great!
