Charles Bukowski...And yours is?

im currently reading through Charles Bukowski's "The Pleasures Of The Damned" and im fucking loving it. just raw, true real. its really good stuff, i highly recomend it to everyone on this site, smoke a bowl an jus marinate in the thoughts.

I was hoping to compile a list of everyones favorite authors of poetry and/or short stories. hopefully we can get a decent list going and we can make like, a list a good reads, books full of things to ponder while stoned instead of staring at a tv or computer screen. thank you to all who add, and fuck off to those who dont!!

I forgot how to read books when the internet was invented.

hahaha. they're good every now and then man. try it sometime, everyones doing it

I*ve got a good collection of Bukowski. 8-12 of his books. Post Office, Ham on Rye all that. My favorite american author I never got to read about in school. Ha

The Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson is also a crackin read. Loved Post Office but haven't read any other stuff by Bukowski.

ill have to look into that one
