I carried on to read a few more of his; the best of which was Big Sur. I'd consider re-reading it... but my patience and tolerance levels have diminished over the years, it might be too much of a chore second time around, so maybe not.</p>John GThu, 21 Aug 2008 10:45:17 -0000http://www.popcritics.com/2007/10/1-read-on-the-road/#comment-1196748<p>Yeah, wasn't totally my cup of tea...I started to grow tired of the story since it was just more and more of the same.</p><p>I'm on to Blood Meridian though...that should be good :)</p>MikeSun, 07 Oct 2007 23:04:26 -0000http://www.popcritics.com/2007/10/1-read-on-the-road/#comment-1196747<p>I read it in college. I didn't particularly care for it, but could appreciate how his writing style and prose was so different than anything else being written at the time and how that, in turn, really influenced writers to come. It definitely is a snapshot of a certain time and a certain movement in history. It was worth reading for those reasons alone (even if it wasn't my cup of tea).</p>D.L.
