Does anyone on /lit/ like Bukowski? I don't recall ever seeing him discussed here.

Pic related. Picked it up the other day on a friend's recommendation and it's my first exposure to the guy's stuff other than a couple of his poems. I'm about half through and liking it so far, though I can see how what I like about it would be the same thing someone else would hate.

Bukowski is okay, just not no way near as GODLY as some people profess. He did some good stuff and churned out a tonne of crap too.

I use to like him but after picking up more and more of his works I realized I was reading the same thing over and over again just with a different title.
He did have some good works but I don't think he is as fantastic as people make him out to be.

If you don't recall him being discussed here, you need to spend some more time on this board.

Everyone that I know that enjoys him is just trying to look literate. I don't see the appeal of him.
