Factotum by Charles Bukowski
4.0

“My ambition is handicapped by laziness.”

Henry Chinaski - the author’s fictional alter-ego - is a general factotum, an alcoholic, and an oddly likable kind of asshole. Bukowski’s writing is so good, but very brash, crass, and sometimes pretty offensive, so definitely not for everyone.
