who else digs this vedder-endorsed poet? i actually was reading some of his stuff before i realized there was a pj-buk link, and it pleasantly surprised me.

i've read a lot of his poetry but just one of his novels. i heard ham on rye and factotum are great books, im gonna check em out soon i think.

thoughts?

Yeah, I know, he's a pretty good read.
But who would wanna be such an asshole?

nice one mcparadigm...cant wait for the new album... it could be a ripper with mr marr on board...

Modest Mouse sucks, especially compared to Bukowski.

I've read Ham On Rye and a little bit of his poetry, such an interesting guy. My sister is a huge fan and has a huge collection of his books.

Not really into him.

i got into him when i heard Ed shout out "I like to read Bukowski butt-naked" on "I'm Alive, How's That"... decided i had to see what was up... loved him... and this was '93, so when i picked a major in college in '94, i went with English and a large factor was probably Buk... didnt get much more into him after college started... the same cant be said for my fandom of the guy who introduced me

cant wait to see Factotum at the IFC Center when im in NY

I read heaps of his stuff when I was a student.

Should be interesting

A search yields three threads for Bukowski in A&E.

It's not a bad film. I can see how people who are unfamiliar with Bukowski's work will find it a tad boring. It basically has no storyline. This works fine with his novels, but it's a hard thing to adapt into a film. Dillon isn't bad, he has the mannerisms down, but he's just too damn good looking. Doesn't seem too convincing.
My favourite parts are when he reads poetry in voice-over. Adds nicely to the feel of the movie, even though it doesn't always coincide with the subject matter.
