I just finished reading:

It never ceases to make me feel weird when I realize how much like Bukowski I really am.

Drunk and afraid?
Actually I like Bukowski a lot too. I have not seen that book you posted before - Crumb has illustrated a few of his works though, right? The two go together perfectly

Yeah, definitely. I also tend to take jobs below my skill level, have similar sentiments towards spending extended periods of time with people in a social setting, and have tried to figure out whether or not I have a problem with gambling.

This book is actually a collection of his journal entries from his later years - the last entry is about a year before his death, and it's really sad to read, really. I do enjoy his poetry and fiction, actually prefer it, but this was an interesting read nonetheless.

A lot of people make Bukowski out to be a complete ******* and a monster, but he was really just human and coping with things in his own way. When reading his stuff, that shines through.

**** haters, Bukowski rules. "so you want to be a writer" is one of the best poems ever written & Ham on Rye is ****ing hilarious

I'm reading

I'm not sure whether I like it or not, I must, because I keep reading it with interest. It just seems rather boring but still has a lot of good **** in it. Ah well

and this, I just started on this but I like it so far

I've wanted to read it for a long time, because I like her poetry. The pace is seemingly very slow so far, but it's not too bad. I haven't really formed an opinion yet but I do like the way she writes.

I used to love this book as a teenager, I could relate to it so much which is probably why. Though I don't think it does a lot for many other people I know.
