The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
3.0

Buddhism as a religious reaction to World War II makes complete sense to me. I was more sympathetic of these characters than of those in “On the Road” though they still bugged me throughout. I can’t blame them though— their most formative years had been ripped from them by the War and therefore were in a completely reactionary stance.

Might be my last Kerouac for awhile though.
