bukowski is my new love. what a man. real men are one of the best things you can find. of course, my definition of a “real man” would be different from most. bukowski kinda defines it.

for the book, funny and sharp nonstop. his crude, wonderful humour makes it fun to read in public settings. makes you feel a little taboo. or just badass.

for all those looking for a book to devour from page to page. look no further. ham and rye is one of the most exhilarating rides through childhood, growing up, staying at home with parents. bukowski has a talent in creating the most awry situation, and making you laugh out loud! i would recommend it to anyone who feels life has suddenly slipped by, too fast. a good pick up.
