    That's awsome, I'm currently reading On The Road. The book is pure genius, what got you hooked on Kerouac? I plan to take a similar trip cross the country, prehaps this summer!!

    Last few I read: Kafka's Amerika, Anatole Broyard's Kafka was the Rage, Stephen King's Misery, and Michael Lewis's Moneyball. Currently enjoying Arthur Miller's autobiography, Timebends: A Life, which was bought for me a few months before his passing.

    Am about to start Lonesome Traveller by Kerouac...Having read On the Road and the Dharma Bums (one of the best books Ive ever read :D)...kEROUAC is amazing, theres no one like him! He just makes you wanna get out there and travel doesn't he!?

    And im gonna be reading as much Murakami as possible, after having read 'Norwiegan Wood' and 'South of the Border, West of the Sun' and loving both!

    and theres also an author called Banana Yoshimoto who looks interesting :p

    right now I'm reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe, and also Fight Club by Palahniuk, although I have already read it many times. EKAT is so so very awesome so far!

    I did notice the The Lost Boy was not nearly as effecting as A Child Called It.
    I thought that I herd that Dylan is writing two more volumes of Chronicles.

    History of British Trade Unionism by Rob Sewell
    and
    History and Class Consciousness by Georg Lukacs
    and
    Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre

    the former two are quite informing. the latter is a novel by a genius.
