Stephen King is one guy who couldn't write a decent ending to save his life. This book is a perfect example.

Yeah. In the edition I have Bukowski writes the introduction and one of Bukowski's peoms, simpley titled Fante - I believe - is in the back of the book.
I liked his style as well and found Bandini to be easy to relate to.

at the moment i am trying to juggle masses of books at the same time, but essentially i am reading crime and punishment by dostoyevsky, junkie by burroughs, dharma bums by kerouac and i often dip into leaves of grass by walt whitman, i keep telling myself i should sit down and devourer the whole thing, but i never manage it. i guess i'm a lightweight. but i should really give it more attention from what i've read so far (its amazing).
oh yes, and something by thomas hardy for school. rock on.

nomadicfollower 09.19.2006 05:52 PM

Crime and Punishment should demand all your attention.

Ugh. Quantum anything.. horrible, horrible. Doesn't bear reading about. I quite liked physics until it got to that bit.


I'm reading "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen now. (Because they're showing the 1995 BBC mini-series on TV this week and I've been watching it and realized yesterday that I never finished reading the book. So I'm catching up.)
