By Request

By request (and you know who you are) a book you MUST read http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9639116793/sr=1-1/qid=1154457929/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-2411185-8736727?ie=UTF8&s=books

Sorry not good with links and stuff that will have to do. Written by a Hungarian author Gyula Krudy, mostly newspaper articles from the late 20's and early 30's some really good stuff. His article on spending a night boozing with the poet Ardy is pricless, makes you feel as if you were there, except you don't have the hangover afterwards. Buy this book! Read this book!

Keep in mind Krudy WAS a raging alcoholic, and these articles paid the bills. He was always under the pressure of a deadline, and many of these articles were written in your typical dark smoke-filled public rooms of whichever tavern he was haunting on any particular night.
