im reading on the road right now

On the Road is amazing!! It made me feel sooo inexperienced and so shallow in my approach to life.

[samariah]

yeah i tried to get dharma bums but the library didnt have it

[Kage]

I've got some recordings of him doing some readings so if anyone wants them let me know.

[samariah]

ok ill have some

On the Road sucked a lot.

[Lufnoops]

on the road was good what you talkin about

[thunderzstruck]

i really liked On the Road. I read the Dharma Bums first and I'd say that had a bigger impact on me than On the Road did though. Such a great book

On the Road sucked a lot.

what did it suck

On the Road sucked a lot.

please don't make comments like this without justifying them in some way. This thread was made for discussing Kerouac, not starting an argument.

oooh, Kage, i'd love to get hold of those if i could. thanks.

cheers! but the second link doesnt work?

I've read On The Road more times than I can remember, brilliant novel. I've been trying to find some of his other works for ages now & I can never find them. I'm going to try checking the library again soon.

[Kage]

cheers! but the second link doesnt work?

Hm, the link works fine for me. Is there a problem with the actual .zip file? Try it again and if it still doesn't work I'll re-up it.

Also, I think I've still got his reading of On the Road somewhere. I'll up it if I find it.

Wouldn't justifying it and making a real point be more likely to start an argument?

[ohcleverhansyou]

It would, but go for it anyway. I have to read another of his books, but I did like On the Road for the most part.

very probably, but I just hate it when people make statements like that without some kind of explanation. but man, i ain't got no beef with you. i respect that you don't dig it. peace:)

on the road is very overrated

dharma bums is a lot better
