"66 On The Road - Jack Kerouac x (good but needed to be edited more)"
Jack Kerouac was a Beat Poet. One philosophy of the Beat movement was "first thought best thought" Jack Kerouac especially embraced Spontaneous prose and generally did not edit because even with the flaws, typos, stuff that didn't even make sense; that was always the best that it would ever be in it's purist form.
no... I get what he was and what he was doing, but I still think the book could have used some editing. It was good but I don't know if I could ever get into the beatnic style of writing.
I'm impressed with how many you have read. I need to start reading more and of more substance. I did keep a reading journal for a few years and did read some very substantial books that are not on this particular list.
