B is for Bukowski

Posted by Chris Tompkins

So it’s been a long time since my last post. Things have been busy and admittedly my reading project got off to a slow start. I have now finished The Year of the Flood and am more than halfway through my “B” book, Post Office by Charles Bukowski.

I regret not being able to speed through The Year of the Flood as it was a great read that was hard to put down, but I am through now and glad that I chose this book to kick off my reading project and I would highly recommend it as a book you should add to your “must read” pile. It has left me wanting to re-read Oryx and Crake though so if you haven’t read either of these books I would really recommend reading them one after the other or at least close together.

As far as my first bookmark goes, that is still in the sketching stages. Lots of ideas kicking around in my head for this one, but expect something soon.

I have also set up a Good Reads account so that everyone can track my progress and check out my future reads for this project, see my reviews and make suggestions. You can follow me at www.goodreads.com/KilgoreChinaski

Happy Reading!
