For Bukowski fans...or maybe not?

Book Boulevard

A book worm's paradise. Latest best sellers to the classics.

Have pretty much most of Bukowski work. Being "into" him for many years, and believing that he is one of "the Best" american moderns, i took a brake from reading only him (maybe i was too much into it?)/ So i strayed, and went for John Fante, Dan Fante (his son), Celine, Camus and even Kerouac.
Now i find Bukowski work: Anemic!
Ham on Rye, i fell asleep reading it. Boring! Same thing with "Hot Water Dance" i found, i am ashamed to say this, STUPID! Why?
Now there are few poems that i still favor, and enjoy reading over and over, even memorizing them. But over all i unfortunately doubt Bukowski will
survive the test of TIME!
Anyone experianced the same about their favorite autor?
