off topic reading

Just finished "The Holy and the Broken" - it's about Leonard Cohen and
his song Hallelujah. Amazing book. Loved the song before Jeff Buckley
sang it, before Shrek and still love it. The place the song seems to
hold in so many hearts amazed me. Loved k.d. lang's version, found John
Cale's rendition and it's moved above lang's and Buckley to rival
Cohen's voice.

I am reading Dearie, about Julia Child. It's a hoot, she had to be
reminded she was working live to tape back when she did the French
Chef and not to say balls !

Leonard Cohen will be here in April, my neighbour got tickets, I
thought about it then decided not.

I'd love to see him again. If you're a fan at all, you have to read the
book. I'll go see if the library has Dearie

Yes ma'am!!! The public library has it but is currently checked out. I
put a hold on it.

I'm currently reading Wolfsbane and mistletoe by Charlaine Harris. It's
a collection of short stories, different authors, about werewolves at
Christmastime.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

I love those Charlaine Harris anthologies - not a dog in the lot!

I am wading my way through Doris Kearns Goodwin's book about Lincoln, A Team of Rivals. I am finding the beginning to be something of a slog - not as accessible as some of her other books.
