I just keep going back to him, time and time again. His a real comfort read for me. Big Sur is a great book...also love Desolation Angels...two very great escapes for me. I never tire of Kerouac.

It is the most honest piece of writing...funny, sad, genius and heartbreaking. I just came back from Big Sur, tracing Jack's steps...it was emotional and powerful-as was Jack.
