Not my favorite but I like Charles Bukowski though I am no hipster, I kind of like his straight forward non bs language (I call him the Lou Reed of literature). He is a little angry and an a@$hole which can be a turn off. Modest Mouse has a pretty good song called Bukowski

I just saw this Dix. great book. has a fascinating section just about once upon a time in america.

a wise older gentleman who i have a lot of respect for recommended it.

when i get home tonight i will look for the title. check your pm tonight after 7ish
