Is it a worthwhile read?

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 26 02:59:02 2011 No.2280076 Yeah, it's OK, mainly for its use of language. Don't expect much in the way of a plot, however.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 26 03:00:02 2011 No.2280077 It's canon.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 26 03:04:03 2011 No.2280081 Kerouac travels around, fucking bitches. I enjoyed it.

>a bunch of white first world kids go on a road trip before the internet and do drugs + have sex, this is considered "wild and crazy" by discontent suburbanites

haven't read it but this is what I've pretty much written it of as, plus I've heard it's stream of consciousness which also sounds like shit

am I correct?

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 26 03:30:42 2011 No.2280099 >>2280092 Aspects of it, not entirely. I like Kerouacs writing style, it's incredibly down to earth and easy / fun to relate to. If you mainly read nonfiction I doubt you'd like it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 26 03:40:42 2011 No.2280104 An excellent book that documents an important time in American history. Read it and you'll see the influence that book/movement has had on the literature/art/music scene from the sixties on...
