Read Howl, if you like it read more Ginsberg Keruac, ect. If you don't give up on Beats.

Not OP, but I read Howl and got bored. Should I give it another go, or is it just the kind of thing you either get or don't.

big sur by Kerouac

read junky BEFORE you read naked lunch

howl by Ginsberg will suffice

I would suggest on the road before big sur. Reason being is that big sur has more to do with delirium tremendous brought on by alcoholism than it has to to with the beat lifestyle. I think Kerouac was already in his 40’s when big sur took place, he was already burnt out and suffering through past decisions and new fame. On the road is more entry level.

It's very repetitive. I get and appreciate what it says but the delivery isn't entirely my thing, so I don't blame you for feeling that way,
