Bukowski actually did change my views on life. Now I just don't give a shit about anything. I have to keep myself from reading his stuff during the school year, otherwise I'll just stop trying again and end up failing the semester. Here's a fun game, try counting how many times he uses the word "cunt" in women.

Bukowski was a bad writer and an even worse person.

Bukowski actually ripped off Rimbaud, Celine and Hamsun but that's not a bad thing--I think as far as ''life-changing'' goes, i really just felt like he was communicating the feelings i had as a teenager which was really nice.

>read book
