Thank you, fwiend. :)
I do think a lot of "new" fans are popping up all over the place. You can't just blame the music and movies that Bukowski's name appears in, though; a lot of people won't approve of the themes in his writing.
:( Um, I'm 17. So I guess that's me you're talking about...
But I'm not a sportsfreak. If anything, I'm a stereotypical bookwork-type, which is what I'd expect more Bukowski fans to be, honestly.
I'm also a girl, which is also apparently a rarity.
