writers I love that Bukowski would hate

[Lolita Twist]

Ridin' along in my automobile.
Me and my old lady at the wheel.
The night was long and the booze was cold.
With no particular place to go.

I love me some Hunter S. Thompson, but I also don't know how Buk felt about that - not too bad, I'd imagine, so that's not relevant.

Hunter gave me a paperback of "WOMEN" he had picked up in Europe in the 70s. He must have liked that book, because it was well worn. I could never get him to answer me whether or not he liked Bukowski's writing. Egos..

Ego can destroy a man and drive a woman crazy.

I bet he would have hated two of my favorites: H. P. Lovecraft and Opal Whiteley. Both are a million miles from Bukowski in every way. And from each other. But, oddly, Opal once lived on DeLongpre, not too far from where Bukowski later lived. I love finding meaningless connections between my unrelated obsessions. Lovecraft never made it out to L.A.
