The Dharma Bums

Well, Inbloom, you're not one of Jack's favorite readers, either.


He's famous, you're.........

 

I loved The Dharma Bums. It changed me. I love all Kerouac though. I loved this more than On the Road.

Im in the middle of this book. Great so far, ha but reading it ya get sorta restless with an urge to hit the road, same thing with On the Road. Both great books

 

its great if you can read it unpretentiously, which is extremely hard to do.

 

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

 

Yeah, reading it just makes me want to ditch school and just drive somewhere far away

 

I basically agree with this, and someone else who said it was at times beautiful and at times boring. I also found it rather anticlimactic.

But it was worth the read, for sure.

 

Mmmm, I see now the comment that Thudly was talking about.

I've read more Kerouac since, and found that he just has a very unique style. I actually do rather enjoy his work now, and he is a favourite writer of mine. But, yeah, Dharma Bums still was a bit anti-climactic, I agree.

 

I actually love Kerouac's style, he uses good wording, on even the simplest things.

 

I've been reading "Heaven & Other Poems" lately. A collection of Jack's poems from the late 50's/early 60's. Great work, very inspiring.

And you're right, flowersinmyhair, he does use good wording.

ohh i loved this book. on the road was really good and it got me interested in kerouac, but after i read dharma bums i was completely hooked! i agree with the great wording-- sometimes he uses so many adjectives! i was already interested in buddhism when i read it (that's one of the reasons i got it in the first place) and it was just beautiful the way they could live life so happily and simply. japhy was a great character. the ending was beautiful. i loved when he went back home and spent so much time meditating in the woods with the animals. i really want to read this again

 

I enjoyed this book, bur i perfer On the road better.... It took me awhile to get really interested in this book, while in the other one i just couldnt put it down. Ilove the part when he is up on the mountian top by himself.. thats my favorite.

 

this is a great book
here u will find loads of books articles

 

This book changed my life...literally! It is the reason I became more independent and also the reason I am an English major, hoping to go into the book publishing industry.

In my opinion, this is his best work and way better than "On the Road".

 

just finished it!!! Great book!
