Which author do you want to have a beer with?
I'd pick James Swain. He's the author of the Tony Valentine books. It's a series about a retired cop who catches casino cheats. Based on his own life's experiences. I think it would be fascinating to hear his stories of punks scaming casinos. Probably because this is stuff I never think about or I'm not smart enough to conjure it up or maybe I'm too chickensh** to try something like that. Anyhoo, that's who'd I pick.

Good choice. That would be one of mine. But I think I would not drink with him. I would go exploring with him in a dark, damp cellar.Linda wrote:Edgar Allen Poe would prob be my first choice. tho it might be a little scary once that guy was drunk...he'd pretty much scare me sober so drunk who knows.knightss wrote:Bukowski or Poe(it'd be more like 6 shots followed by 6-8 beers)... you know.. if they were alive. Hell i probably wouldn't make it through that evening alive anyway.
and it'd be like 8 shots...im not a beer person. ha and then i'd have to chain smoke like a pack of cigarettes...cause that's what happens when i drink.

Like whoever you want to like folks, taste is subjective. Don't ever apologise for enjoying the work of someone others do not like.

i'm sorry if it offended anybody, i didn't intend too. but if you told me that bukowski was just a dirty old drunk that wrote terrible poetry and worse novels i wouldn't take it personally.
