Book of Longing

Leonard Cohen

I just recently joined the group 50 in 365, which is a challenge to read 50 books in 365 days. That would mean almost 1 a week. Considering that it’s March and I’ve only completed 1, I would say I am way behind. I am still going to give it a shot though. Why not? I love reading. I will be placing all the books I have in the books section of my blog.

The one book I have completed so far this year is “The Book Of Longing” by Leonard Cohen. It’s a collection of his poetry and drawings. And for anyone who is a fan of his music, or a fan of poetry in general, I strongly recommend this book.

His writing is introspective, personal and at times witty, while his drawings are both philosophical and erotic. He composes simplistic free verse poems alongside complex rhyming masterpieces that always leaves you wanting to read more.

I found this book inspiring, and I can’t wait to go out and buy his other works.
