I read it while touring and it seemed very appropriate for my stage of life. Although I was constantly around people, as Jack points out... the road can be very lonely. I love On the Road.

Thank you. I first read On The Road when I was 17. Now I'm 66 and I love his writing just as much as when he roared into my heart like he did to you. Over the years I've read nearly everything the man wrote - and after reading this piece I'm ready to go open him again. My favorite after OTR is, I think, Visions of Gerard - a completely different but ineffably beautiful memory of his older brother, who died when Jack was four! Kerouac has hugely influenced my own life and my own writing. I really have to be conscious of it even now. There is a piece on my own blog called 'Leslie In The Crystalline Night' that you might enjoy. Thanks again. It was a treat. Beautiful appreciation of St. Jack. Thank you.
