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

i loved that book. its really easy to read but his writing is fantastic. its almost like poetry! and his characters and dialogues are amazing. he was also a huge influence on bukowski

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.

racehorse · 09.19.2006, 05:50 PM

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.

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.)
