On the Road - Jack Kerouac

[Railroad]

Oldie but goodie. I'd never read it, but saw it on the book table at BJ's and bought it. Although the events and people in the chronicle might leave a little something to be desired, the prose is excellent and at times brilliant.

 

[BadGirl]

That is one of my most favorite books ever.

“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” Jack Kerouac

I think I may have to pick it up too. Mid-Century adventures are right up my 'love anything retro' alley.

Good morning all

I'm nearing the end of the book now and I'm feeling a bit disoriented. Ironically, although I'm losing touch with people, places, and things, the prose is getting better and better.
