I promised not to bail. I‘m an ugly loser. Couldn‘t make head nor tail of the first 10% of this, and couldn‘t be bothered to continue.

My first stop in Texas was for tacos and a margarita. This was my second! Got a few books including the tagged title ❤️📚
Lots of you fellow Littens knew I was writing and entered a contest. I didn‘t win although I also didn‘t think I would because what the hell do I know about writing a book. I‘m ok with it but have been bitten by the writing bug after having it take a backseat so many years. So I‘m going to fix the weak spots and go from there. Also I started the next 2 in the series so what choice do I have? 😂😂 thanks for all the encouragement Littens!

Went to Barnes and Noble with a gift card. Spent more than I planned. Not pictured: the issue of New Republic that the nice clerk who helped me find the Solnit was so exited to recommend that I had to buy too.
I picked up this book in Autumn from a yard sale, as well as a few others. Started reading it a few days after his death. I also found myself in a hotel bed reading this while a documentary was playing. A Tower of Leonard.
This is the combined 1st person narrative of 2 unlikable guys as they each degenerate into complete madness, featuring indigenous Canadian history, ramblings and a lot of sex between all.
they are leaning out for love
and they will lean that way forever
So sad this morning to hear about Leonard Cohen passing away. I love his music and his fiction is wonderfully weird... When will this shitty year end!
I cannot handle any more bad news. Losing Leonard Cohen is devastating . I have one of his lyrics tattooed on my arm and the rest deeply embedded in my soul.
R.I.P. Leonard Cohen. 2016 has snatched another true artist from us.
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I bid farewell to Leonard Cohen. I have loved the beautiful words he gave us for as long as I can remember. RIP, Mr. Cohen. I will miss you terribly.
I know people are excited about Dylan, but he wouldn't have been my choice. (Especially after reading that profile of Leonard Cohen last night---he's not in good health.) Anyway, here are a few of my picks for the #Nobel.

@Liberty I considered Margaret Atwood, but after a few seconds more thought, it was clear that my favorite Canadian author is the great poet Leonard Cohen.
