my dear boy, (hobart as he is known to many of you) decided it was time to send me something in the mail. he sent me a cd of buk reading some of his own work. i listened to it on the way to illinois one weekend and immediately began to blush. i shied away for a bit, unaccustomed to the...

the book itself didn't make me cry, but when i saw kerouac's "On the Road" manuscript, i was definitely moved to tears. to be in the presence of something so immense, of words that had been handled with such passion and punched into the paper...whether you love it or hate it...the manuscript is...

now gentlemen - a women doesn't mind a gaze now and then. 'tis good for the ego. but were hers (tomei's) really all that great or was it just because they were the only tits in the movie? i found the film intriguing...it hooked me in the moment, but was easily forgotten once over. having...

you said that so much better than what was in my head. i have been following this post since it started and while i can appreciate the correlation between artists and their works, i do not enjoy clumping individuals into groups. perhaps it stems from working in a junior high where i watch...

as a child, i always thought it better to be seen with a big book so as to appear intelligent and deep. the books i carried with me (and never made it through...) - david copperfield by dickens - gone with the wind by margaret mitchell - anna karinina by tolstoy - anything by the bronte sisters...

what a brilliant story! i love that you found your first in the trash - you are a true rescuer of fine literature. which one did you find (and did you hold onto it?) welcome welcome...

i am still a little new to buk - he was introduced to me by the dearest of friends. i have read some, listened to some, but i must agree that there is something in that man's tone - his words, his demeanor - that makes me want to drink. his words go well with wine and cigarettes. eventually...

kerouac. salinger. hemingway. steinbeck. mccullers. waller. rilke. thoreau. ginsberg. de prima. rimbaud. edward abbey (thank you, m). i think i am obligated to say the buk. i also feel i should throw in jean craighead george, gary paulsen, e.l. konigsburg, katherine paterson, scott odell, and...

perverted? no. dirty old man? yes, but that is not a bad thing...i've known a few, i know a few. booze addicted? so what. i have my own addictions and demons. no talent hack? talent is perception. buk is, like beer, an acquired taste. and (like beer) some days he tastes good and on...

i'm not allowed to be an asshole? perhaps i need to rethink my membership...or my demeanor...a conundrum...i suppose i will make an attempt at being courteous. i too am new. thank you dear boy for showing me the way. hi.
