'on the road' by jack kerouac. about a group of people who go on road trips and don't know when to quit.
You're not very good at elaborating!! How are these books? How did they make you feel? Would you recommend them to anyone?
Help me out here. =)
well, while i read them i kept thinking 'the human condition'. but i didn't know what to think about that. i felt bad for everyone because they were all so dumb. they were very afraid of things and looking for easy ways out. but then i began to feel like i was a part of one of these stories so i began to feel sad for myself for being dumb and looking for easy ways out and trying to do art and like nice things and drink and smoke and do drugs all the time and so when i finished all the books i felt very bleak and kind of empty and so when i came to write these reviews i felt they were apt and adequate.
in 'on the road' the charater Dean Moriarty (neal cassiday) really inspired me. I kind of identified with him on some levels. I admire the fact that he was digging life to the fullest and didn't give a fuck about what other people thought. The sad part is, most of these people kind of crashed and burned toward the end of their journey. i'd say allen ginsberg probably came out in the best condition out of all of them.
these are all amazing books.
