Oh, [a:Charles Bukowski|13275|Charles Bukowski|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1387554724p2/13275.jpg]. Where do I begin? I adore his poetry, really. It speaks to me in the bitter, cynical, drunken tones of a misogynistic misanthropist who is just scribbling on paper in hopes of another paycheck coming in. It speaks to me in the harsh growl of someone cursing down the phone at his admirers, then sleeping with their wives, sisters, daughters, mothers, grandmothers - any woman with a pulse before shoving them out the door with no apology. It speaks to me in the way that [a:Hunter S. Thompson|5237|Hunter S. Thompson|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1206560814p2/5237.jpg] does, but without the strange bit of heart buried deep within Gonzo's rotten frame. It speaks to me, and speaks to me frankly. I know I'll give it more stars at some point or another. I know I'll read through everything the bastard wrote at some point or another. I can't keep away, even though it's the same as lapping up the putrid filth of existence and expecting not to get sick. It draws you in, it spits you out. Then it urinates all over you. Why do I do this to myself? no reviews | add a review
