On the Road by Jack Kerouac

I'm sure this book has probably been discussed before, but I was wondering what you thought of it. I thought it got slightly boring at times....but overall, it was really good.

 

it wasn't boring for a book written in under 2 weeks fueled by pot and whisky on an enourmous scroll

 

My favorite book. You definitely need to be in the right state of mind to be reading it---just kind of a chill book. Definitely changed the way I think of things though.

 

I read it walking around the town..it was nice to sit down on a bench and just..chill.

I felt like such a hippy.

 

it was awesome. i got it for my birthday and i enjoyed it greatly.

 

I love the parts when they are in San Francisco and Mexico

 

oh i love when they are in mexico. it really opened my eyes up to america too, he showed in the weirdest way how beautiful the country can be in the darkest times.

 

I just finished it! i LOVED IT, It represents almost every thing I want to do with my life (minus the acid). Now i want to move to Frisco.

 

I liked it when he scored a mexican girlfriend in the bus. For me thats just freedom. It liberated me.
I also met some real nice girls in the bus.
Thanks Kerouac

 

Yeah very awesome book.. Love Kerouac's works.

 

I'm actually reading this at the moment, for the first time, and am about 1/2 way through. I'm really enjoying it too. I love stories about travel & road-trips, and the feeling of freedom that evokes.
