A Writer's Favourite Writer

Being a bookaholic, we come across many different writers and every one of them is a universe in themselves. To be lived in and to be explored of. But you cannot help but fall in love with one of them way too much. This universe might be anything from being serene to being cocky and shit.

For me, its Bukowski.

Heinrich Karl Bukowski, the German-born American, is a badass and wouldn't mind being called one. His straight forwardness and honesty, both in his life and priceless masterpieces, teaches us something that he had no intention of teaching. In all probabilities, he wouldn't care a time about preaching. His sense of freedom, and of happiness, are probably the purest forms of these nouns to have ever lived upon the soil.

From spending his life switching through low paying jobs and always skimming that layer of poverty, to having a huge posthumous following, Bukowski's life has been the greatest book that would ever be authored by the legend.

To everyone who's searching themselves, spiritually or otherwise, here's a word from the wise, to the wise and his best known lines:

"My dear,
Find what you love, and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling
onto your back and weigh you down
into eventual nothingness. Let it kill
you and let it devour your remains.

For all things will kill you, both slowly
and fastly, but its much better to be
killed by a lover.

Falsely yours
Charles Bukowski"
