Kerouac is the embodiment of a true writer.

The man sure had an interesting life. I've read every biography on Jack Kerouac. I can take the good with the bad.
Kerouac is an original. I can't think of anyone else like him.
I have his 1960 signature tatooed on my right arm.
Which Kerouac novel do you favor?
i've only read a few. i read on the road of course, and then also big sur and the dharma bums. i'm off traveling this april across europe and america, and i've got lonesome traveler i'm saving for that. also homeward bound by woody guthrie.

I love Dharma Bums. On The Road is still on the top 50 best all time books ever. I really liked the book. I'm also a big time Burroughs fan.
Going to Europe sounds pretty cool. Where in Europe are you going to be?
Kerouac made me want to write. I still read everything I can by and about him. It's a hobby of mine to go hunting through those forgotten little bookshops in search of Beat material. That might sound quite standard, but I live in South Africa, and finding a Kerouac is about as common as finding Elvis (the real one). Still, you get lucky. I picked up a copy of Neal Cassady's First Third last week at a charity sale in the middle of the Karoo desert.
We'll do it doggy-style so we can both watch X Files.
