Thoughts on Charles Bukowski
I'm really developing a love for the work of Charles Bukowski. I'm primarily interested in his short stories, but I'm very fond of his poetry as well. Even some of his paintings are pretty interesting.
A little backstory...
When I was very young, probably 10 or 11, I happened upon my father's secret stash of porn magazines. Among them were a few issues of Hustler. While I was interested in the pictures, my love of reading drew me to a few short stories contained within. This was probably a clue as to where my sexual orientation would lie in the future becuase I was far more captivated by these stories than by the gynecological views of the female anatomy. Yeah, I was a strange kid.
Anyway, it wasn't until recently that I decided to learn more about the man who's stories caught my attention as a young'n. And the more I find, the more I am drawn to his work. I thought I would ask and see if there are any other fans of his work here and if you have a particular piece or two that you are particularly fond of.
Hopefully, I'm not the only fan of his on the boards.
