Who knows anything about Bukowski? I've heard SO much about him, and finally bought a book. Man, it's something I will never forget... If it's all autobiography, then he must be one of a kind. To live through it all is one thing, but to live and write about it is WAY different. |

a friend lent me 'ham on the rye'.. .i started reading it, i thought it was quite good never got to finish it though. interestingly enough, i was was flicking through that 'kurt cobains journals' thing today in a book shop, and on one of the pages he was going on about how he ripped up and burnt all his charles bukowski books. i dont know why it didnt say! |

Try Tales of Ordinary Madness..excellent short stories..I am more of a Short Story fan then Novels..to me it's a purer art form.. and incase you wanted to know. I think Bukowski's Love is a Dog from Hell and Burning in Water, Drowning in Flames are two of the most outstanding books of poetry ever.. |

awesome *adds all to my list* i like short stories as well. i think it shows the true talent of a writer, being able to do it all in just a few pages. not to digress but one of my favourite short stories of ALL time is 'the veldt' by ray bradbury.......truly terrifying......ehhehe |

if your into him you might like Jack Kerouac, i never read bukowski but hes after kerouac and it falls into that kerouac/ws burroughs/allen ginsberg era "the beat genration" kick ass stuff! id start off reading "on the road" by kerouac then go on to his other stuff - i loved it |

"The Lottery"...a classic... That reminds me... *takes piece of paper out of pocket and checks it* Whew! I'm cool... ;) |

I agree..I am a big Burroughs fan and find Kerouac, Ginsberg and Bukowski quite agreeable.. |
