9th sentence of the 9th book

Big Sur

The 9th book on my Kerouac bookshelf is Jack Kerouac's Big Sur (Penguin Books, 1981), and the 9th sentence* (in honor of today being the 9th day of the month) is:

Drunken visitors puking in my study, stealing books and even pencils.

Oh, the price of celebrity.


* Given Jack eschewing the use of periods in Chapter 1, I chose to use em dashes as end-of-sentence punctuation for the purpose of counting sentences.
