After reading the poem Love for $17.50 by Charles Bukowski‚ my mind is in a conundrum. When reading this poem things that come to mind are how funny‚ sad‚ disgusting and how real all of it is.

Be it by its unique writing style or by the towering amount of cultural references included in every line of text‚ this book demands the full attention of its

Addicted to love Biochemically‚ falling in love is pretty much like getting simultaneously smashed on low-dose speed‚ E‚ and heroin. That’s because most of the recreational substances we indulge in‚ work on exactly the same brain bits that love does. It all comes down to what love does to a couple of chemicals in your brain: dopamine and noradrenaline.
