How to read On the Road
It made me 
"This book was really fantastic except it leaves you exquisitely curious in the way that only the viewer can be. I desperately want to know more but there's NO WAY to know."
How I did it: I found this book, which turned out to be a bookcrossing book, at the Smithsonian Book Day on the National Mall. I don't have the right title for the festival but I'm not concerned. And then I just read the book. It was easy.

Entertaining, sometimes intoxicating, but, in retrospect, oddly meaningless. It’s apparent that it could be life changing for someone... It just didn’t touch me in any big way. So it goes.

A good read and a classic of the genre. Some fantastic descriptive passages and a brilliant final page. Would recommend.

not the most amazing book in the world, but it was a good read. it def. has meaning and i can see how it has such a cult following over the years. worth a read, Dean is a facinating character although i prefered Sal(natator).

Finally finished this fantastic novel yesterday, and to be honest, it blew me away. Jack Kerouac’s flawless, beautiful writing is so deeply inspiring—he makes you want to just stop sitting down watching time go by and go see the world. There’s just so much out there, and he makes you feel like it isn’t right to just sit there and read about it!
I now fully understand how Hunter S. Thompson was inspired by his style of writing—both authors are very similar. You read their books, and you’re impacted by them so much it’s insane. Some people would think that this novel has no point, but it really does. It’s Sal Paradise, living his life to the ultimate fullest, and never missing a moment of it.
I highly recommend this book, it’s extremely life-changing and overall a great read.
