Click here for a Life magazine piece that lets you scroll through 44 different literary figures and a brief statement about their favorite intoxicant. Burroughs is represented, as is our hero Jack. Even our friend Ayn Rand (who I think, as my regular readers already know, had an affair with Kerouac) is represented. Did you know old Ayn was a speed freak?
Bring on the booze and get writing!

Wow! The affair has gone from speculation to fact. I'll drink to that
That's great! :)
It brought me ideas for a post in my blog.
Glad it was a worthwhile post - thanks for the feedback. Good point, Crystal - my grammar was a bit off!
