Woman’s Notes In Charles Bukowski Book Go Viral Because, Well, They’re Spot On (28 Pics)

Charles Bukowski wrote one of my favorite books of all time, Post Office. He also wrote some poetry that, well, isn’t as beloved by all.

If humor, as George Saunders put it, is “the truth told too fast,” Bukowski’s one of the funniest writers who ever lived. He spits his disgusting truths with no filter or drawn-out apology.

Many people enjoy Bukowski’s writing because of his flaws. One woman, however, saw the flaws for what they were and wrote as much in the margins of the book. Thankfully, someone picked up the used book later and shared said notes.

As a result, Twitter had a good laugh. Then, like every good laugh on Twitter, we all had to debate whether this anonymous person’s notes we “right.” Regardless of how much you like his work, you have to admit the notes are funny.

Screenwriter Melissa Turkington took to Twitter to tell people of her hilarious discovery.

As people shared their own thoughts on the viral tweets, there was a magical plot twist! Look for it below.
