Since I am getting extra time these days to read, I decided to catch up on my books from the last few months, and started with Post office, a book recommended by Nibaq. I had seen the movie Factotum a while back and it was a somber experience, yet enjoyable, however, after reading the book, I fell in love with Bukowski.



The book in short talks about his time at the post office during a decade or so and the experiences he goes through, the people he works with, the women he meets, his life; being drunk, getting laid and not giving a damn about anything. His encounters with the system at the Post Office are very funny and he reminds me a bit of HST but without the drugs.

The book is divided into four chapters, his start at post office, his time with Joyce, his return back to the city and then chapter four. I finished it quickly in one day, in a few hours, last time I did that was with the Alchemist, but then again both of them are relatively small books. I highly recommend it.
