    Well, that was slightly more interesting than the classic tale of 'I found my older brother's skin magazines.' Do you have any titles you'd reccomend from Fante?

    No it's fine, I like getting to know people. Frankly, even the way different people do everyday things can be very fascinating. So if you want to share, don't hesitate. Also it could be that instinct of that time of year when Black History Month rolls around. You see it everywhere. It doesn't...

    I'm rather new to the Buk scene, and I've mainly been his short stories. When I get back from business, I'm probably going to pick up 'Post Office.' Also, when I pick up a book, it's usually either a some information source *i.e. textbooks, how-to's, etc.* or comics, but in the past I really...

    What sparked your passion for reading?

    Well there are a lot more less productive ways to ditch class. The school library was always a haven for myself also. Though I can't say I remember Ladybird books too well. There's nothing wrong with being the tortise. I like to take my time on books too. Especially encyclopedias. But it's...

    I wish I had six limbs. But at the same time, eating with a beak would be frustrating. Some of the best people I know are Marines. It's a pleasure!

    What was the moment in life when you think you reall started to enjoy reading? Was it from the first words you said? Or was it a specific book? A muse? A mentor? For myself, it started when my mother was in nursing school, and she left out her anatomy and microbiology books out. I was only...

    I'm just speaking from personal experience. The way my line of work has changed over the few short years I've been in, I can understand why people can begin to lose control. But hey, I'm off and I just had a good meal.

    Damn, it's always the drunk jackass that fucks it up for everyone else. *snerk* Not all sailors are like that! Thanks man.

    Just please don't fall asleep. Let's see... It started with a bad day at work three years ago in July. I was still the wide-eyed new kid and had just gotten sent to Supply department to fulfill my obligation. At least they didn't send me to the mess decks. Instead they sent me to the paint...

    I'm not going to pretend I'm witty or know everything about Charles Bukowski. But I will say that as silly as it may sound, oddest chain of events has led me here. I won't bore you with the details if you don't wish to read them. However, if you wish to know, then let me know. And above all...
