He will give you a boner and you will want to spoil your life into a degenerate drinking scoundrel afterward or during. If your into that sort of thing then yeah if not then no.
Worth checking out, he has a plain straightforward way of writing but no literary merit in my opinion.
Austin Sanchez
Literal horse-faced wife-beating plebeian and a faux-profound cunt to boot.
Charles Sullivan
If you don't expect high literature you'll get fun stuff with some feels that's also pretty relatable if you're a boozy bottomdweller.
I think a lot of people hate him for his fanbase though.

Grayson Sullivan
his fan base and for him, this is not a case of the source being not that bad like dfw
Easton Nelson
buk also always wrote about how he wanted to kill himself, but he kept chickening out and left his much younger wife to tend after him while he decayed and beat her
Bentley James
What are you doing?
Henry Taylor
Novel, not so much (unless you're really into his stuff). As for short stories, check out Tales of Ordinary Madness. You have to sort through some real garbage, but there are plenty of hidden gems.
Christian Stewart
I've read all of his work, always sort of enjoyed it, but I wouldn't consider any of it particularly good. Yet I would be willing to reread it all.
Daniel Price
Sort of related but there's a neat song about him. youtube.com
Caleb Watson

Austin Wood
And this is the man praised as the most macho manly man ever? Really?
He's a fucking meme author to answer your question, OP.
Owen Campbell
Good taste.
Adrian Sanchez
I'd actually like a list of my character flaws.
Also, Bukowski is an inferior copy of Henry Miller, who himself was an inferior copy of Céline.
Hunter Gutierrez
>praised as the most macho manly man ever
No one who read him thinks that. He isn't a macho man, he's a cynic man. He saw how the world is.

You win. Congrats.

Spooks begone!
The people who like Bukowski really put me off reading him.
They are always fedora-esque type guys who are clearly struggling with their need to seem masculine in some way.
Usually a nerdy faggot who thinks drinking sazeracs and reading Hemingway makes him masculine and deep. It's just cringe.

It's boring shit.
