The Favourite Game

I was at Mont Royal cemetery in Montreal to visit my grandparents‘ graves and decided to take a small side trip to see Leonard Cohen‘s final resting place.

I had the great fortune to see him live in concert twice. The performances were unforgettable.

Crazeedi Wow, that would have been amazing 10mo

kwmg40 @Crazeedi It was amazing indeed, and it was in a smaller concert hall with great acoustics. 10mo

The Favourite Game | Leonard Cohen

My current total for the #24B4Monday #readathon is 7 hours and 30 minutes, and I finished The Favourite Game, Leonard Cohen's first novel.

Being a lifelong fan of Cohen's music, I found this book interesting for its semi-autobiographical aspects. It's a coming-of-age story about a young writer/musician from Montreal.

I'll do another attempt at #24B4Monday! Hope to get more Hugo Voter Packing done, with Best Novel nominee Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse. #hugoawards #hugo2019

Unfortunately, I don't have any banned books for the theme, but I am reading a book by Leonard Cohen who had another of his books (Beautiful Losers) banned.

Good luck to everyone participating!
