Was Albert Camus a better goalkeeper than George Orwell? Have your say here.

I know nothing about Bukowski, and I don't want to get on the Daily Express / Daily Mail "isn't political correctness stupid" bandwagon (and I know you're not on it), but these are brilliant.

All right. I'm goggling at this - silent, upon a peak in Darien. A brave new world, indeed. It's going to take me some time to find my feet here.

I am a huge fan of Bukowski. If you like his work, might I recommend his inspiration, John Fante. Both very good writers and solid poetry from Bukowski. the Bandini Quartet is a must read from Fante.
