A quintessential novel of America & the Beat Generation On the Road chronicles Jack Kerouac's years traveling the N. American continent with his friend Neal Cassady, "a sideburned hero of the snowy West." As "Sal Paradise" & "Dean Moriarty," the two roam the country in a quest for self-knowledge & experience. Kerouac's love of America, compassion for humanity & sense of language as jazz combine to make On the Road an inspirational work of lasting importance. This classic novel of freedom & longing defined what it meant to be "Beat" & has inspired every generation since its initial publication.

I actually read this book twice, hated it, but wrote a 12 page paper for a Sociology class in undergrad. The prof gave me a D because he loved the book and didnt agree with my paper. It was an OPINION paper! For extra credit no less! I will forever hate this book and will continue to knock it off of shelves if I see it in person out of pure hatred.
