On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
A great companion for a road trip, Kerouac crafts beautiful, poetic scenes from the American landscape and the people he encounters on his travels. Written at a time when the American Dream involved a Chevy, a long road and the freedom to explore, the book shares the same wonder and romanticism that was widely held. However, what took me so long to complete the book was the lack of plot, weak female characters and oozing sense of white (male) privilege. Those last two factors alone are what made me take away two stars. A great read if you're looking for something to casually slip in and out of.
