So I am currently selling two DVDs on eBay. Here are the links:

Not sure which forum category applies "on eBay" or "for sale". I chose "for sale" since I am the one who has created the ebay listings. Cheers.
Yeah, it looks like my theory has failed.
Still... I think that the psychological tests were more complicated than Bukowski described. It just seems too easy, too funny to be true. Was it just a simple chat with psychiatrist when you joined the army?
You make it sound like we're having a fight here. We're having a discussion, we can't have a discussion if we agree with each other all the time.
Sure, it's just a theory that's based on my personal opinion. I made it up because I find it hard to believe Bukowski's story that he's telling in...
I agree, "Ham on Rye" is a novel, not an autobiography, so it might not be 100% true - can't argue with that.
But about that yearbook picture: Beverly Knox talks about this picture in "Born Into This" and she says: "this is the picture that has been touched up as you can see. his face was...
OK, I see the timetable. I see that in 1933/34 it starts and that he undergoes painful treatments. But I also remember that he wrote that the treatments were pretty useless ("Ham on Rye" chapters 32-35) and he had to stop them because his father got a job and Bukowski could no longer qualify for...
Not exactly.
Remember, in "Ham on Rye" he writes about his senior prom:
"They all danced beautifully and the music was loud and clear and good, powerful. Then I caught a glimpse of my reflection staring in at them - boils and scars on my face, my ragged shirt."
...and that's the year 1939...
Gernard: sure, this thread is an internet scam. I started it because I wanted to sell you old Soviet army hats.
It wasn't just few pimples here and there. As far as I understand it was an extremely severe case of acne. Of course I could be wrong, it's just a version. But to me it sounds more...
Ever since I watched "Born Into This" I was wondering if this story is true:

It looks to me as some bullshit story that Bukowski came up with to hide the true reason why he was rejected. All this Bukowski/doctor conversation just doesn't sound real. In Howard...
I agree. I hate that part where Bono is reading Bukowski poetry. I always turn the volume down or fast-forward to the next scene. In my opinion Bono is just a huge douche with fancy sunglasses and huge ego. I doubt that he really likes or understands Bukowski poems/novels.
Other than that...
So... I finished reading Howard Sounes book yesterday. I agree, it is much better. It reads like a story, while Barry Miles Buk bio is written more like an encyclopedia.
However I'd still suggest Barry Miles book to anyone. Especially if he/she is going to read it BEFORE Sounes book :)
Watched both DVDs.
It's a "must have" for every Buk fan.
Really enjoyed "There's Gonna Be a God Damn Riot in Here!" because of the intense, wild, insulting communication with audience.
"The Last Straw" seems to be not so wild but also is a DVD that I'll watch over and over again.
