  Woke up this morning, and it seemed to me
  That every night turns out to be
  A little bit more like Bukowski
  And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read
  But God, who'd wanna be
  God, who'd wanna be such an asshole
  God, who'd wanna be
  God, who'd wanna be such an asshole

In literature classes I find Bukowski to be an interesting way to gauge your peers. Not as course material mind you, but you can guess a lot about a classmate's attitudes from how they feel (if familiar) about Charles Bukowski and Haruki Murakami. Sort of like how you can tell a lot about certain kinds of tech workers by their taste in books really (granted the yardsticks are different and they have to actually be readers).
