Sh*t! What a load of boll**ks. The only things I want to do are the things I never will be able to do. 1) Sing in tune...perhaps with a voice akin to Karen Carpenter. 2) Have someone rich, handsome, clever and funny fall in love with me. 3) Do a really big robbery and get away with...

It is the truth.:rolleyes:

This forum is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me. I nearly pi*s myself every time I log on.:)

I wonder if that docu's available to purchase? I'll look out for it over here, which channel's it on?

'When I was Cool' by Sam Kashner. Sub-title 'My Life at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics.' This is a must read for anyone interested in the beat writers. It's true, funny and sad. Great.

He, he kenny. Film stars are all the same to me! Colin Farrell, that's right. I've never heard of him before, but he's good. I'm seeing Factotum next week, that's got better reviews so I'll probably be disappointed.

Has anyone else seen the film of 'Ask the Dust?' I did think they'd kill it when I heard they were making it. After reading the appalling reviews - I thought they had. I've just seen it, it's not too bad at all. Matt Dillon does a good Bandini. I wouldn't want to watch the film again...

He met some of them in his later life. Obviously, being a well-known writer, he met lots of other well-known writers and hanger's on. It doesn't make him like them (use like in both ways).

Although Bukowski is often linked with the beat writers, he wasn't one of them. They were a group of friends who hung about Greenwich Village New York. William Burroughs was from a very rich family and therefore very influential which attracted a lot of writers.:rolleyes: Bukowski lived...

I read it a few years ago, I failed to be stunned. I can only remember it rained a lot and something about someone turning into an angel. 'Love in the time of Cholera' was more memorable - but 'A Hundred Years' was fractionally less boring.

Oh I know that's what they've done Kenny. Good riddance to them, but there's always another moaning git turning up.

Bl**dy hypochondriacs! They do my head in. Who the f**k wants to hear about your ailments? The only time I see a doctor is when I'm taken horizontally, feet first into casualty. Wingeing gits. Most of my friends and family have now died of it. :(

PULP FICTION DESPERADO DUSK til DAWN OK, so I do admit to being in love with Quentin Tarrentino. LADY and the TRAMP

I like books about the everyday life of everyday people. I love how good writers make it all so interesting.

Not a chance.:D Barfly was pretty bad. Crazy Love was good, but didn't make it into the English language.

Most definately. In fact lets put all X factor persons in there.

She's already in room 101 Chris. I put her there while no-one was watching. (ie., anytime - any place -anywhere.);) :D

It didn't do much for me either. I enjoyed it enough to read a couple more of his books though. Those put me right off him. My son thinks he's great. Maybe it's an age thing.:rolleyes: ;)

Favourite Bukowski books, Factotum - Post Office - Ham on Rye - Pulp - South of no North. Short story collections - Tales of Ordinary Madness. 'Betting on the Muse' - That's my fav. of all of them. Stories and poems. I love them all really, except Women.

I'm just reading Fingersmith and finding it good stuff. I would never have chosen it, but a friend lent it me insisting I read it. I'm so glad she did. I watched Tipping the Velvet, but missed the TV adaptation of this. I'm glad I did, it's so much better to read something before...
