My sister is doing fairly well, all things considered, after her car accident a week ago. She's getting some of her movability back to her injured leg.
I can barely remember what the book was like, but I want to see On the Road. (I'm surprised it took so long to make it into a movie.) I haven't splurged on a theater movie for a while, so I might even see it on the big screen.
I don't even remember what drew me to the book, but On the Road was one of the first books I read after I moved to Tucson. I remember taking particular interest in the very brief part of the book where Tucson is mentioned. Kerouac even wrote about the street just north of where I live, Ft. Lowell Road. I don't know if Tucson made it into the movie, though, and I don't even know if Kerouac's story would even entertain me as much now as it did then.
On the topic of books, below are the last 20 I've read.
