I remember reading on the road just prior to going to university. I also remember it being an amazing read, are you enjoying it thus far? I don't know much about the Beats, but I do think that their style of living or at least Kerouacs style may be vastly overrated. After all, the guy died from internal bleeding from alcohol abuseā€¦ Doesn't sound too romantic to me.

Yeah, it was an interesting book if for nothing else than to get an insight into the minds of Deans and Sals.
