Bukowski

Don't

I read Post Office and liked it. /lit/ usually recs PO or Ham On Rye and says don't bother with the rest. I read some books of poems with R. Crumb illustrations but couldn't get into them. Never was much for poetry of any kind, tho.

You know the Murakami meme that every one of his books are the same. Well take that meme and put it on Bukowski, only tenfold.

start with his favourite book, Ask the Dust by john Fante, you can will understand him better, or read it after who gives a fuck YOU'RE A SLUT WHERES MY BEER I SHOULD KICK THE DOG I WON ON THE HORSES

BUKOWSKI'S GROWING OLD

He's a hack but start with Ham on Rye.

If you want a novel, read post office or Ham on Rye. They're short and easy reads.

For poems, Last Night on Earth is his best (that I've read). I wouldn't waste your time with anything beyond one or two books by him.

Bukowski does a couple things very well. I don't think Murakami knows what he's trying to do.
