I don't really know much about him, but I've been getting really into some songs that my brother has given to me. Any fans that can advise on where to begin?

"Suzanne" is a masterpiece. Seek out the original studio track and album, Songs of Leonard Cohen.

As loved as Cohen is as a singer-songwriter, he's equally or even more revered as a poet and novelist. Look for one or more of his poetry collections, perhaps starting with Stranger Music, which also contains some of his best-loved song lyrics.
