"Some people never go crazy, what truly horrible lives they must live," Charles Bukowski.
Another of his quotes, "An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way."
Hard to argue with the man.
His work isn't for everyone. If you're delicate, easily offended, or stricken with a puritan heart, it's probably best you stand back and leave his writings to others. On the other hand if you do appreciate a well turned phrase or enjoy good writing and want an inside look at a drunken genius's mind then by all means find his books. Much of his works were issued by small presses in limited editions and are worth thousands. Amazon has many listed on their Kindle pages.
"If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose." Charles Bukowski.
It's a sickness, my eclectic taste in literature. If you follow take care the path.
Stephen
