[i was stoned and tired, felt like i needed some buk. lo and behold, i pick up the most beautiful woman in town, and the woman's name is cass, not cas, but close enough and some of the things about her really reminded me of myself

That was fucking beautiful. Glad you shared. I don't think I've ever read Bukowski before, not on purpose. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm glad you liked it. Definitely read some of his books. Women, and The most beautiful woman in town & other stories are my favorites.

that man knew life.

wow

i especially loved the lines

   
• She kissed with abandon but without haste.
  
  
• "Once you accept a drink you create your own trouble."
  
  
• Our conversation simply went along without strain. We seemed to discover secrets together. When we discovered a good one Cass would laugh that laugh-only the way she could. It was like joy out of fire.
  
  
• ...long ago killed by the pace and stupidity of survival
  
  
• It was somehow better than lovemaking. There was flowing together without tension.
  
  
• The night kept coming and there was nothing I could do.

I just got this comment (there's not much to do in the hospital besides catch up on email and get stuck with needles 24/7) and i agree completely. i made someone bring me that book too, while i'm here.
