It's in pretty poor shape. I have to admit, I thought "On the Road" was pretty bad and have never had an urge to read anything else by Kerouac since, except for some of his haiku, which I thought were OK. I should probably read "On the Road" again as an older adult and see if it's gotten any better.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-45457958300423326432008-03-29T09:23:00.000-05:002008-03-29T09:23:00.000-05:00I remember a brief fling with a young lady during ...I remember a brief fling with a young lady during my college years. She told me that we were a couple right out of "The Subterraneans." I hadn't read this novel by Kerouac. However, I had read D.H. Lawrence's "The Horse Dealer's Daughter." Ironically, my young lady friend had five brothers just like the title character in the Lawrence story. She was their only sister, just like in the story. And to top it all off, her father owned a car dealership. She was very pretty, if you know what I mean.--Neal CassidyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-11693676096089204282008-03-29T00:24:00.000-05:002008-03-29T00:24:00.000-05:00Out of sight, man Sixties are it in 2008\\Overdue ...Out of sight, man <BR/><BR/>Sixties are it in 2008\\<BR/>Overdue in my bookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
