freaky prophecy, dang it!

So I've been reading Kerouac's on the road over the last few weeks and came to the part where they're driving in the winter with no heat and they have their heads wrapped in sweaters and it reads something like 'we were flying into New York like mad Arabs coming in to blow up the city'. Freaky.

That's a shame, you know, that you were reading Kerouac.

Loved that book. Yeah. He's full of those lines, and sometimes they hit you later. I like his stream of consciousness style. I've been a fan since I read the first sentence of Dharma Bums.

Kerouac is awesome, The Dharma Bums is my most favorite book ever. I had 'Dharma Bum' tatted on my shoulder a few months later. On the Road is a great book too. As is Desolation Angels.

Might I suggest, after you finish On the Road, a book you might enjoy, that was suggested to me. Not so much Kerouac in style (actually more Vonnegut) but a nice life memoir just the same, with biting satire, and alot of "rise above the situation" type stuff is "What the Grandchildren Should Know" By Mark Oliver Everett, the lead singer / songwriter of the Eels.

I just finished it a week ago, and then I just re-read it, I liked it that much. You might too.

Getting back on point to the subject of th epost, yeah, Kerouac certainly had a knack for that stuff (no not prophecizing) but I haven't read him in years...an odd coincidence.

I will certainly add this one to my wishlist!

You are so incredibly correct.
