Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author
1. It‘s complicated: I learned to drive a stick on an Allis Chalmers tractor with a double clutch. I would have to practice with a car. 😂
2. The tagged book a cross country road trip and a lot about Dean Moriarty aka IRL Neal Cassadys ability to drive all night , park cars close together in a pay lot backwards & fast! I also thought of the film Thelma & Louise.
Everybody play!
Sisters, Saints and Sibyls Women of the Beat
"If you want to understand Beat women, call us transitional-a bridge to the next generation, who in the 1960's, when a young woman's right to leave home was no longer an issue, would question every assumption that limited women's lives and begin the long, never-to-be-completed work of transforming relationships with men." Joyce Johnson
A great find at my library bookstore, so many interesting women.
And talented women.
so-soThere are moments of brilliance with some beautiful turns of phrase, and best when reading is uninterrupted. Unfortunately, some of it is barely accessible- you read for feel not content. Burroughs is not for everybody.
pickMy new favorite Jack Kerouac book. As you follow the story of Ray and his friends you feel like you are right there experiencing everything too.
Bought this a while back and am finally getting into it.
so-soAfter finishing this novel, I am reminded of the saying, “you are who your friends are.” This book displays the unhealthy relationship between two men who have not progressed in maturity and have decidedly regressed themselves in debauchery, drugs, and alcohol while traveling back and forth through the country with no real aim in life. What seems to me an empty and hollow life that can be learned from as opposed to being engaged in. 4/10.
