Yeah, they have another one too, i'm gonna get them both. So far The Music Of Erich Zann is my favourite.

I really like that cover for some reason.

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.
