On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
After hearing about this book for years, I have finally read On the Road by Jack Kerouac. The “stream of consciousness” writing is raw and gritty, making it a difficult read.
Kerouac wrote this on a massive scroll of paper with no breaks. With no attempts for organization, the result is not the polished novel of modern day life. Rather than reading it continuously through, I read it in bits and pieces at a time.
I should have read this as a teenager when the carefree attitude and sense of adventure appealed to me more. It’s not ground-breaking today as it was in 1957 when published, but I appreciate it for being a product of its time, a world that simply doesn't exist anymore.
