Yeah, Bukowski was great. Post Office, Notes of a Dirty Old Man, etc., are very funny, and often even sensitive. A friend of mine went to one of his readings, and Bukowski drank a six pack while doing it - without even bothering to unattach the beer cans from the plastic that held them together. As you probably know, there are several films based on his writings. I always felt that the best actor to play him would have been Lee Marvin, himself being a heavy driniker and all-round tough customer.
