This came from my friend Leon. I love it. Especially the Bukowski reference. When I got out of the Marine Corps, the guys I served with decided to forego the usual plaque everyone could sign and instead got me a first edition copy of Bukowski’s “Notes of a Dirty Old Man” they all signed it for me. Of course, a woman borrowed it from me and never gave it back….go figure….

The Bible
Good opening chapter. Main character arrives halfway through, but gets killed off early. Some decent (if dated) commandments. Cracking ending. Slighty too open to interpretation.
