    Factotum vs Barfly: Which do you think is better?

    I saw Barfly many years ago when it first came out and kinda liked it. I didn't even know who Bukowski was at the time. Then, much, much later on I began reading Bukowski, and I read Hollywood. I tried to watch Barfly again and I couldn't even make it halfway through it. I didn't like the...

    In what order did you read Bukowski's novels?

    Novels: Post Office Ham on Rye Women Hollywood Pulp Currently reading Factotum I've saved Factotum for last because I saw the movie about a year ago and was disappointed with it. So far the book is much better. Matt Dillon is no Henry Chinaski. He's not even Chinaski backwards. I also...

    What sparked your passion for reading?

    It's slow reading for me. Since I started reading Celine's Journey, I've finished Notes from a Dirty Old Man, Pulp, Ask the Dust and one of Buk's poetry collections. Journey definitely has some gems in it, but I think Celine tends to ramble. It's worth grinding your way through the rambling...

I've been a member there since 2007 and my participation in the chatter and shenanigans there has waxed and waned over the years. Sometimes, I just get tired of it and lay off for awhile. Then, I'll go through a period...

    zomg! I've been snipped. M'kay. No more of my poetry. Figured somebody already had Chinaski as a username. Yeah, I thought that up all on my own.

    What sparked your passion for reading?

    I just finished reading Ask the Dust a few weeks ago. I liked it. I'm in the middle of reading Celine's Journey to the End of the Night and finishing up Buk's Pulp. I didn't really read a lot until about a year and a half ago, when I got divorced. All of a sudden I had a lot of time on my...

    Fine Art

    To me it's just art not intended to be used for commercial purposes the way an advertisement is. 2 cents from the new guy.
