Bob Dylan's Nobel nomination has once again sparked some controvery as to whether his works (no matter how good they are) should be considered literature.

In Canada, we don't have this problem, as Leonard Cohen (of "First We Take Manhattan" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" fame) IS a poet.

LOL! Not really. It's just that I have sold both Torontopia and Torontopolis (.com, of course), so I decide to use Hongcouver as my location, since my heart is always in Vancouver. I'll sure drop by when I finally move there.

UPDATE! 'Piano Teacher' Author Jelinek Wins Nobel Prize:

Austria's Elfriede Jelinek won the Nobel Prize for Literature on Thursday for novels and plays that starkly depict violence against women, explore sexuality and condemn far-right politics in Europe.

The 57-year-old writer best-known for her autobiographical novel 'The Piano Teacher' -- made into a movie in 2001 -- was a surprise winner. She is the first Austrian and ninth woman to win literature's highest accolade.
