But it’s not just about quantity. Above all It’s about quality. Charles Bukowski book “Women” is quality, that unsettles.
Why always more women?
What was I trying to do?(Charles Bukowski – Women)
Bukowski writes mercilessly direct about everything important:
women, alcohol, women, horse racing, alcohol and women.
His stories are totally driven by desire. They are fucked up and sad. But his absolutely sober view makes you piss yourself laughing. His writing style might be sober, but Bukowski himself is a drunkard!
Human relationships do not work anyway. Only the first 2 weeks have little zing. Then the participants lose their interest.
(Charles Bukowski – Women)
He is a Steppenwolf. But different than with Hesse, Bukowski is neither sentimental nor lonesome, at least on the outside. His poems tell a different story.
Bukowski takes his many problems (with women) lightly. As a reader, you constantly ask yourself, if you take some things too seriously.
You should take a look!
Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Bach, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart.
People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.

Warum wusst ich denn nix von deinem 200 Bücher Projekt?
Hab da mal reingeschaut, weil ich’s grad gelesen hab (und es war furchbar): Moby Dick is auch dabei, na dann viel Spass du armer Irrer!
Ich hab den Blog nicht gelesen (vermutlich stets da drin), aber warum, WARUM VERDAMMT gibt’s diese Liste? Ich mein, ich les ja auch gern, aber für mich gibt’s nix geileres als grad des ausm Regal rausgreifen, was grad angeboten wird (ich mein, gefallen musses mir schon, mag halt Klassiker, aber extra eins bestellen oder suchen, nein!). Warum, WARUM VERDAMMT sind wir so verschieden???

Ja Lupo, wir können halt nur soundsoviel Bücher insgesamt lesen. Da braucht man schon ne Taktik um den Rahm abzuschöpfen.
Die Listentaktik funktioniert bisher einigermaßen für mich. In den Buchladen rennen hat für mich bisher erst einmal funktioniert, bei vielen Fehlgriffen.
Ich trau dem Zufall net…
