Mehso-so

I gave it a rating of so-so as I think I enjoyed this one the least out of all the Chinaski novels. Henry is approached by a bizarre French director about writing a screenplay of events taken from Factotum, the formidable years of a drunk writer. Much of the novel is a commentary on the absurd business maneuvering and back-stabbing by film producers and the prima donna egos and odd hang ups of the talent on set. The least dirty book of the series.

I had the bottle and the typer. I liked a bird in each hand, to hell with the bush.

Money is like sex. It seems much more important when you don't have any...

If you ever go up to the Hollywood sign keep an eye out for this house with books painted on the garage door because HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! I've seen it a few times but it always brings me joy 😊

I had to use Bukowski as where I lived. Although he could be a bit too much at times, he always made me laugh. All of his novels are set in Los Angeles or Hollywood, CA.

Los Angeles is a big, spread out city. Most of these prominently feature my 'hood. #setinmycity #readjanuary

Lawyers, doctors, plumbers, they made all the money. Writers? Writers starved. Writers suicided. Writers went mad. #amreading #bookworm #bibliophile #bookish #booknerdigans #bookblogger #tsundoku #greatreads #readmorebooks #coolgirlsread
