Wow that's not The Fratellis' best piece ...

This place is awesome.

Alright; it was more out of curiosity anyway ...

Rererereading Lunar Park. And Beyond Remembering (Al Purdy) poetrywise.

Happy birthday ! Sorry I'm late ! (bis)

Happy birthday ! Sorry I'm late ! Might be a French habit ...

Love is a Dog from Hell is a good choice as far as poetry is concerned. If you consider chosing prose, in your case I'd personally use Lady Death from Pulp but that's just me. Anyway be careful, the scholars/bukowski mix has proven to be dangerous ! :) Good luck !

I've read the Sounes, Chervoski, and Calonne ones but I've never heard of this Buk bio written by Miles, is it worth buying it ?

Sounds awesome. I'll try to get those from somewhere somehow ! Muchas gracias !

Alright that's good to know, merci ! Ahah ! You know what ? I actually didn't enjoy the reading the very first time (and I was quite disappointed by that, since I had read the horrible French translation before that and hoped the original would be more appealing). I picked it up again later...

I appologize for the time between my responses, I'm in the middle of a travel so ... Yes obvioulsy it is. What I meant to ask was whether or not Ellis' works could have interested him. But I guess in the end the answer is all the same. But anyway were there many authors that Bukowski appreciated...

Well just like that out of my mind : Bukowski was the epitome of a late bloomer, while Bret Easton Ellis published his first novel at 21 and became famous almost overnight. Now about American Psycho, you've got a lot - and I do mean a lot - of description of what the people are wearing or what...

Hey guys! A very silly question crossed my mind the other night and I figured that I might ask it to you as well. As I was finishing once again to read American Psycho, I was wondering if there was anything that Bukowski might have said about it or about Ellis' work in general. I somehow find...
