Since I don't know the details of the 'Ninong ry love story', it could be a beautiful and romantic one. Maybe it involves two people named Ninong and ry who meet in an unexpected place and fall in love gradually. They might have to overcome some difficulties to be together.
Well, in any love story, communication is key. So in the Ninong ry love story, their way of communicating with each other could be a major element. Maybe they have a special way of expressing their feelings, through letters or a shared hobby. Another element could be the setting where their love story unfolds, whether it's a small town or a big city.
One thing that might make it special could be the unique perspective of Ry Cooder. Maybe he has an insider's view of the city that few others can offer.
Sorry, I haven't read 'Ry Cooder Book Los Angeles Stories' so I can't really recommend any particular stories. However, given that it's about Los Angeles, it might have tales about the city's famous movie industry, the struggle and dreams of immigrants, and the unique architecture and neighborhoods that shape the city's identity.
There are many! Like 'Peanuts' where Charlie Brown is home sick and has funny adventures. Also, 'Garfield' sometimes shows him being lazy on a sick day and it's hilarious.
