I'm a big Charles Bukowski fan and have been recently reading John Fante who was his mentor. 

Ask the Dust is great.

I read lots! One book in particular - I must have read  at least eight times. Not because it was such a great story but it takes that much reading on my part just to get a start on understanding it cause I ain't no genius when it comes to the smarts department.

The book is "Dancing Wu Li Masters" and it is supposed to be all about the basics of Quantum Mechanics.

I suggest that guys like Adonis and JonnyFalcon or anyone else with half a brain who may be interested in this sort of thing pick it up and give it a read. Once you get past the first 40 pages or so, it becomes one of the most fascinating reads imaginable.

I can almost guarantee that you'll be reading it more than once.

Currently reading "Not a Good Day to Die". It's about Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. It's pretty disheartening to see all the screw ups of generals and pentagon. Soldiers on the ground are good to go, though.
The answer is "yes".

Mostly various "hard boiled" detective fiction from the 1930's- onward, with a heavy emphasis on the 1970's-1990's.

i'm reading a great black comedy called 'the koran'.

its about this paedo, who after being beaten up by his wife, takes a huff, and decides to live with a goat on a mountain. one day he thinks up a greart idea to pretend he is gods messenger, and the locals are so dumb they believe him.

one way he gets them on side it to tell them god wants them to beat their women, and treat them like meat. They can also have 4 wives and rape any woman they like.

one day he fvcks a 9 year old, and steals his sons wife, along with wage wars, and a few other things.

great work of fiction.
