Jack Kerouac

I can gladly say On the Road was probably the only classic novel I've actually enjoyed.
Something about Kerouac's words really appealed to me when I was reading it.

On the Road broadened my views, for sure. Made me want to travel the world, go insane. Just like the Beats did.

He had a word for everything. Even made up some to display his emotions better. Had a whole sentence for every fleeting thought.

EXCERPTS FROM "BOOK OF SKETCHES" (another book of his.)

"The dead man's lips are
pressed tasting death
as bitter as dry musk"
--------------------------------------------
"A big piece of myself is stuck
is choking me in my throat"
--------------------------------------------
"Animals don't have pride
Men shouldn't --healthy
          men have no peacock
                   pride"
--------------------------------------------
"no kicks or
drugs available his
supple sad body,
just lies there
waiting for the
end of his 9 years"
--------------------------------------------

Basically amazing.

Seriously, read his books.
Fo' real.
