Thoughts on Charles Bukowski?

Good short story writer, garbage poet.

A dated a girl exactly as you described but she was a Kerouac-pseud

His best book is Pulp, and it is a work of genius.

This.

Bukowski is a fun read. Pour yourself a beer, light up a cigarette, get yourself a low-paying job and you're all set.

But yeah, guilty pleasure of mine.

Nice trips, but it definitely sounds like Bukowski is for me.

But to be fair though, fuck cigarettes. I'm not wasting my money on that bullshit. As for fighting, meh, I've come close to getting in a fight a few times but I never throw the first punch and being a pretty damn big guy the other person typically isn't too eager to throw the first one either.

I don't much mind him, but there isn't really a great deal of variation in his poetry. Read a number of his poems and he doesn't really surprise you much after that.

same with a girl i know

I fucked a Cortazar/Kerouac/Beat nut for a couple days straight.
Fun piece of ass, horrendous human being.

Plebmagnet supreme.
