TCOLSHTOS is my absolute favorite Bukowski anything. Excellent if you're a writer yourself, or just wanting to read something that's ultra sentimental-core.

No problem. Once you read Factotum, watch the film version with Matt Dillon. I didn't expect anything from it but I was actually very impressed, it's a very faithful and well-handled adaption.

Also, if you find you enjoy Bukowski, read John Fante, most notably his novel Ask the Dust. Also look into some Celine. They both heavily influenced him.
