| | 1. |  | post office: A Novel
from Ecco
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
This is the first book I've read by Bukowski. I first came across him due to amazon's recommendations, as I had been reading quite a bit of Henry Miller.
Well, for various reasons I got turned on to John Fante, and finally picked up some Bukowski books.
I think in Orwell's essay on Henry... more info

| | 3. | [no image] | Ham on Rye
from Black Sparrow Press
Customer Review:
At times in his life, Charles Bukowski may have lived like the dissolute Hank Chinaski, his alcoholic protagonist in post office: A Novel, Factotum, Women: A Novel, and HAM ON RYE. But in reading HoR, the quality that communicated most clearly to this reader was Buk's immense discipline. There's no... more info

| | 4. |  | Factotum tie-in
from Ecco
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
"Factotum" is a story that goes nowhere but around and around.
It's the same thing: Henry gets a job, gets a chick, tons of drinking and getting drunk,loses or quits the job, is poor, gets another job, a new chick, more drinking, loses or quits the job....etc....
"Ham on Rye" and "Post... more info

| | 5. |  | Love is a Dog From Hell
from Ecco
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Love is a Dog From Hell captures Bukowski's considerable talent for capturing a mood and throwing the reader into his world. This is an excellent edition of modern poetry that perfectly captures the degenerated angst of the period. What is particularly striking here is Bukowski's acute awareness of... more info

| | 7. |  | Ask the Dust
from Canongate Books Ltd
Customer Review:
Ask The Dust By John Fante provided an enjoyable escape from life in hte 21st century to the romantic, meanderings of a writer living in Los Angeles through the 1930s.
Really, I was attracted to the book because of Bukowski's energetic intro and I was not disappointed.
Ask the Dust... more info

| | 8. |  | Notes of a Dirty Old Man
from City Lights Publishers
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This is definitely a Bukowski book. The story reads like most all of his books; womanizing, gambling, drinking, inability to maintain a job, and more drinking. I would have given this book 5 stars if I had not purchased and read 4 of his other books. I felt like I had already read this book before I... more info

| | 9. |  | Tales of Ordinary Madness
from City Lights Publishers
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This is only the second Bukowski book I've read, the first being Post Office. I liked Post Office much better, maybe cuz I ran a Rual Route as a letter carrier and I could relate to his struggle. There were a couple of short stories in Tales I found interesting, but the writing style makes for a... more info
