i'm new here so i don't know if there is already a thread about this. I was just wondering if you could only read one bukowski book for the rest of your life what would it be? personally i'd have to go with either "Ham on rye" or "last night of the earth poems" . i would choose "ham on rye" because i identify strongly with young bukowski and "last night...." because it has my favourite buk poem "bluebird"
