I found Bukowski today by accident. I was browsing at a bookstore not sure of what book I wanted to pick up... or rather... not sure of what book would suit my mood.... anyhow... I found his books on a bottom shelf and picked up "The most beautiful woman in town & other stories." It looked interesting so I bought it and started reading... and love it so far. After reading through some of the threads... I'm very happy I found him today.

Congratulations! Good for you, NewFan! - The Most Beautiful... is the first part of a book called Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness, which was later divided into 2 books. The book which contain the second part is called Tales of Ordinary Madness. You should buy that one too. Oh, and welcome to the forum...

hello, how are you :)
I bought that for my sister for Christmas and she keeps it in her bathroom for a toilet read, her fiance is a farmer and one day he was out of 'Farmers weekly' and so read a bit. Apparently he called out from the throne, "Jesus Christ whats this weird shit you're reading".
I wonder if CB ever wrote about crop farming or tractors?
You haven't seen anything yet... these guys are crazy

Ha-ha!...Not a lifes work - I'm only been into Buk since '78 or '79. ;) Unless you're loaded, it takes time to get all the books, CD's, DVD's, bio's and what not. I may have a Buk high school degree, but some of the guys here have a Buk university diploma...:D

It would seem to be. I'm sure one day someone will come in and say they never heard of him until they saw this forum. We'll have to give them the crown.
