currently reading dharma bums for a third time, I prefer it to on the road. Intermittently reading some hosho poetry, right now you gotta recognize when times are good, things will always oscillate and pivot. if you haven't checked out haruki murakami I'd recommend it, especially his magnum...

recently at half price books, they had a 18th printing hardcover BSP Hot Water Music for 30 bucks, the condition was great, and it had the plastic cover casing around it, so whoever it was took good care... just curious if that's a good price, I own a lot of BSP but no hardcovers

Impressive timeline, thanks MJP

don't forget to add in the dimensions in your paper math dependent on the fact that he meticulously carbon copied and kept a copy of all his poems... haha

one of the only ways to convince people who hate jam bands that some of it is great The leaves seen through my window pane Remind me that it's time to move my life again November sun is felt by none A chilly breeze has blown my thoughts to what's to come A cup of warm coffee, some vitamin C...

Check out Muscle Shoals on netflix, great music documentary

Widespread panic fan, checking in, some of us are respectable, probably not gbsuperbowl though... If you were a dead head back in the day, what do you think about robert hunter, I'd say he wrote some of the best lyrics known to man, a great poet in my eyes.

The toenails one reminds me of some line where buk talks about the victory or how hard it is just to put your shoes on. I think its in the captains out to lunch.

Saw this just recently in a bookstore window on my way to work, didn't realize what it was, I might have to stop in tomorrow to take a gander...

I would recommend dan or john fante or look at this https://bukowskiforum.com/threads/down-and-out-literature.10740/

I sometimes wonder if these quotes maybe someone say in germany, reading a buk book in german, and trying to translate the quote back to english. That's a huge benefit of the doubt scenario... because most of the shit is probably just made up.
