Bukowski is one of those authors who's really appealing to college freshman who are hellbent on being miserable. He's got that Holden Caulfield streak, where if you're not in the right mood for the kind of stuff he's slinging you can't help but go "okay man, we get it, holy crap." Even a fan of Bukowski would admit that his view of relationships wasn't exactly what one would call "healthy." Granted the guy who wrote a book called "Notes of A Dirty Old Man" probably isn't out to appeal to young female readers anyway, it's always funny to see his writing reflected on by someone who has enough sense to try not being sad. Melissa Turkington quickly found out that she bought a used Bukowski book with just a hint of added flavor.
