The Sole Survivor
This is the one book I didn't sell when I decided to let go of my collection of signed Bukowski works. I'd planned to keep it. Then I decided there was no reason to keep it. I'd rather have the cash. I'm not sure how much I paid for the book, but the bidding for it is now at $355. Truly amazing. I paid less than $100 for it. I knew it, and all of the other signed Bukowski books, leaflets and chapbooks I collected, would eventually be worth a small fortune. I was not mistaken.
I've got nothing surf-worthy to talk about. I know there's surf out there. I'm not stepping foot in that dirty water for another day. I'm tempted, but I just can't do it. When I feel like my willpower is waning, I remind myself that surfing after a rain is like surfing in the toilet of someone with bad eating habits, IBS and a belief that cleanliness is not next to godliness. Even if the surf is good, I can wait.

Wise decision, Grasshopper...
Wow, that is cool about your books! Water is dirty up here, too. Yuck.
Most of my Bukowski books have been in a box in the garage for the last few years. I think that moving on from Buk may not be the worst the thing you can do. Though, signed copies may be another thing all together.
Uhhh........... Bukowski is the literary equivalent of dirty water.
Pass the soap, please!!!!!!!
At this point in my life, I run hot and cold with Bukowski. I've read just about all of his works. I feel no need to read them again. I collected them to sell them later. I knew they'd be worth something.
I did meet him once. Believe it or not, he was very nice.
