was reading bukowski while getting my hair did
and my stylist, mason from hunter and gun who is a genius with hair was all 'omg you're reading bukowski I love him" and I was all "I've never read any of his stuff before, ham on rye is my first go at his stuff" and all through my dye job and trim he was all
omg omg omg bukowski omg
he said bukowski is one of his favs and that when I'm finished reading Ham On Rye I'll feel shitty and awful and hate people, which is what a good book should do.
my mum asked for 50 shades of grey for christmas and I was embarrassed for her. she said that she asked for it because it's 'all people talk about' and I was all
mom just because people talk about it doesn't make it good
and she was all 'but I don't want to read a tough book I want to read a book where I can be brainless and shut off for a while'
and that made me feel sad because I don't think that's what books are for, or are should be
in one of my classes we read a book called amusing ourselves to death by neil postman and I highly recommend it
it talks about the impact of tv and how television is changing media and basically ruining literary societies
which I agree with
it was written in the 80's but is still totally applicable now, which is scary
reading it made me feel shitty and awful and hate people
which is why I'm stoked to keep reading this bukowski.
