Literary jenkem. Intoxicating dogshit. Feels like drinking and driving. It's one of the saddest books I've ever read. Whole things a broken dream. It's collapse becomes more obvious as you grow older.

Didn't care for it. The first part is fun but as it proceeds it loses its magic and just gets repetitive and sad. Every character -- some of the most prominent members of the so-called Beat Generation -- is loathsome by the end of it.

Jim Morrison and this book is a tried and true method to get 16 year old boys out from under their mother's skirts.

I did get rather carried away by its exuberance. It made me want to try benzedrine.

I had to stop reading the book when he mentions that apple pie and ice cream is "nutritious and delicious." It's just so fucking stupid.

this nigga is blind & ignorant to the god RAYPEAT .. kerouac was a proto-peater and peaters will reign supreme while the multitudes grow ever more sluggish .. drowning in cortisol, their barely-functional thyroid glands struggling to even raise their hands to stop my (high-glucose) piss-stream that falls upon their face like god's waterfall
