A fine site you run here - I always read it. My favourite Kerouac Book - Desolation Angels. The story briefly: Jack's On the Road catapulted me on the road when I read it, aged 16 in 1962. It 'spoke' to me. But when I caught up with Desolation Angels in a Manchester (England) library in 1966 it seemed a 'deeper' more relaxed read to me and I feel a lot of affection for the book. All best, Al of the Beat_Happening thread.
