Joanna has a post about Charles Bukowski and how he survived on Pay Day Bars. She then asks about personal favorite interactions of candy and literature. I went with the English candy torture test in Gravity's Rainbow. So awesome.
I am sad to admit I have never read any Bukowski despite many recommendations to do so. Must fix that.

Funny thinking about Bukowski living on a candy bar called PayDay. About as close as he ever came to a PayDay.
Sorta like Isaac Asimov living on Milky Ways.
Or Dumas eating Three Musketeers Bars.
Or Caleb Carr eating Fifth Avenue Bars.
Or Bret Easton Ellis living on Zero Bars.
Or Ken Burns living on Baby Ruth Bars.
Or Dale Carnegie eating 100 Grand Bars.
Am I missing any?

PJ O'Rourke living on Snickers.
Ron Jeremy living on Butterfingers.
There is a movie of Factotum coming out, but I should read the book first. Some other friends receommended Ham on Rye so maybe I will check.
Liked your candy list, esp Robert Downey...
