I live. I die. I live again.

Kerouac's On the Road was the last book i've finished actually. and i didn't really like it all that much. how is this one tho?
I'm a hardcore Kerouac fan - one of my teenage obsessions I never grew past- even if he was a pretty ****ty misogynistic right-winger in a lot of ways (and while at least bi had enough internalised homophobia to sink a battleship). To me he's like an outsider artist, a naif and just someone with a very pure and romantic view of the world that influenced my personal spirituality a lot. Misunderstood imo.
To me he can have a few pages of sublime beauty followed by a few of nonsense- due to his "spontaneous prose" style so it's hard to rec books. Obviously OTR is the one people know, but maybe you might like Big Sur or the Dharma Bums more or even parts of Doctor Sax and Visions of Cody if you're into experimental literature. Maggie Cassidy is one of his more minor works and one of the few i hadn't read.. it's typical Kerouac, beautiful writing and confused self indulgence in equal measures lol.

i've read Kim Gordon's book. it good. love her.

as of me, currently, i'm reading…….
nothing
? lol i have a couple of halfway finished ones (a collection of short stories by Doris Lessing, Marai's
Miracle of San Gennaro
, Edgar Rai's coming-of-age novel
Back Flip
), but i havent touched any of them in weeks. it's not my strongest reading phase atm.
suck it.

50 pages in and you really feel bad for her.. kinda humanises someone who i grew up thinking of as the epitome of aloof, irreverent cool.

I got that Kim Gordon book for Christmas but haven't gotten to it yet.
