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

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.

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

really?

What is that even about?

I'm reading the Harry Potter series right now. I am on The Goblet of Fire. It's getting really intense.

I have to read To Kill a Mocking Bird. It's pretty easy...
