Welcome joe, I'm new here myself. my bukowski introduction was the only copy not-yet-stolen at the san francisco public library of Pulp. From there it was notes of a dirty old man, last night on earth, hot water music, women ..... the list goes on. bought and used copies. My favorite is a...

fucking mac just died so i don't have itunes, hence no music ... no money, no can buy.... last cd i bought i can't remember, but last cd i downloaded (this is a purely fictional account so no no one should be held liable for this post) was balkan beat box, off-shoot of a group called gogol...

"My wife recently read her first Bukowski, Post Office, and enjoyed it. She's now reading South of No North and is put off a bit by the nastiness of the stories(hee!hee!)." she'll get over it. soon she'll see the glory in drinking cheap wine and howling at the moon

interesting viewpoint, illi. I never thought about the female viewpoint from a female viewpoint, if that makes any sense. i guess i just went by gut instinct and liked or not liked based on that. But i totally agree that placing anyone on a pedestal is bad news in any arena of life. "Cunts...

it's so nice to find kindred spririts.... it's just past harvest season in spain and i am enjoying myself. not llike california, but tis good, tis good.... cirerita .... i'm in barcelona ... jo puc una mica de catala .... and i couldn't find cirerita in my dogeared catala-castella dictionary ....

that's exactly how my girlfriend sees buk. I read him when I was about 20 and I was attracted to his comic side. that's still what I like when I read him. but reading him with this new perspective makes me appreciate him even more.

I guess no one has similar experiences .... i find that hard to believe. I'd also like to apologize for tacitly assuming in my post that there are no women on this board ... something else I find hard to believe. Anyway i'm glad to say i'm with a woman right now who is a fan of bukowski. so...

yeah the studio scenes were fascinating. they cut all the gloss out and showed how a classic song was conceived. speaking of Finnish directors recently i saw a movie by Aki Kaurismaki called "I Hired a Contract Killer" about a depressed Frenchamn in England who hires a contract killer to kill...

I saw irreversible in a multiplex (here in Spain) at 1 in the morning, after smoking some maria and it was A RIDE to say the least. I really dug that movie. Great editing, great camera work, sound mixing. Relentless is the word that comes to mind. It's not a movie that will leave you...

I think that's the key to buk's writing.

cireteria i totally agree with you. while i don't detest the movie and actually enjoyed it for the most part, some of the sentimental stuff really annoyed me. the jazz music was totally off for one. it somehow missed on the humorous side of bukowski as well. i never saw him as such a...

damn i accidently posted this on another thread: yes i must admit i've had many vodka 7's because of bukowski my drink of choice at home is moritz beer which is from barcelona. that and vino tinto. when i go out i usually go for cuba libres, which is rum and coke, or just straight rum the...

yes i must admit i've had many vodka 7's because of bukowski my drink of choice at home is moritz beer which is from barcelona. that and vino tinto. when i go out i usually go for cuba libres, which is rum and coke, or just straight rum the mixed drinks aren't very good here anyway

pues gracias cirerita. coming from a buk fan in spain, but originally from the states. lots of buk fans here by the way. and in my opinion he's just as funny in spanish

after responding to the thread on buk quotes i thought about this. i've had a variety of girlfriends and one common denominator holds between the most memorable, and that is that they were bukowski fans. they had at least a couple books and understood his point of view. other women i have...
