Info on: Joel M Becker
Live in Washington DC. I work here too. I hate work. I hate the idea of work. I hate typing the word, WORK. I am originally from New York. I went to school in Miami. I travel a lot. Women slow you down.
I read too much. Two books a week. Cable is too expensive. The people at the bookstore know my name. They smile when I walk in. I like to own books. I have a hard time giving things back that I borrow. I owe a lot of money at a Miami Beach library- overdue fees. Blockbuster won’t rent to me anymore.
I love Hemingway. I like Bukowski. Sometimes I wonder who would win in a fistfight. I think Bukowski would. He grew up poor and hungry. Hemingway was loved. Everyone hated Bukowski.
