A small tedious story about a small tedious life.

Vaak amusant, nog vaker problematisch misogyn

This book was entertaining and gives you a look into what you hope isn't the life of most postal service workers. I probably wouldn't recommend this to people who don't want to read about crude topics, but it was entertaining anyway.

Sometimes you just need to return to the classics...

"It began as a mistake." Bukowski's classic, seething with nihilism yet at the same time strangely optimistic.

Liked it better than other Bukowski fiction I'd read, as it avoided too much of the going on and on about the same subject matters. But in the end, it is all the same stuff from him...booze, one night stands, race tracks, complaining. This one just had postal stories thrown in, too.

I kept waiting for something interesting to happen...

Got up to 475 words per minute...

Interesting use of pacing and shock.

Really don't know what all the fuss was about. So the man drinks a lot and works in a post office. There's no insight and I didn't form any sort of attachment. He was quite funny, seemed to have some principals about working hard for the post office for some reason. Doesn't like women much. Much prefer Irvine Welsh, books like Filth and Training spotting feature characters in the 'underclass' but with formed values and philosophies. There's also a story. Disappointed.
