I'd rather be reading Bukowski

[mdmc]

Hey DU! I just saw a bumper-sticker that read 'I'd rather be reading Bukowski!'. I wonder where the driver picked it up. Has anyone else seen this bumper-sticker? I tried to take a picture of the car with my cell phone cam, but almost died! If it is illegal to hold your phone and talk while driving, it should also be illegal to take pics with your phone while driving.

Will Pitt recently quoted Charles Bukowski in his political writings.

BUKOWSKI!

4. As you can guess from my avatar

Bukowski is a hero of mine. He made me want to become a writer, and kept me alive many, many years through my own flophouse life on the road.

There's never been anyone like him.

I just found Bukowski recently, and will read more.

6. Spark

i knew that i was dying.
something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become
them, accept.
then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
bit.
it needn't be much, just a spark.
a spark can set a whole forest on
fire.
just a spark.
save it.

- Charles Bukowski
