Daisey
On the Road | Jack Kerouac
post image
Mehso-so

I agree with several reviews I read for this one. It started out fairly interesting; I enjoyed the flow of the writing and description of the country as they traveled. However, it got old as each section seemed to repeat the same aimless travel to a different place with never enough money, but through some work and theft, they managed enough for drugs and to find another woman to love and leave.

Ruthiella Books don‘t have an expiration date but I feel like this is a book that will definitely hit differently when read younger. 6d
Tamra I‘ve never read this one. Definitely not feeling like this is in my wheelhouse. 6d
Daisey @Ruthiella I can see that, especially the desire to see more of the world aspect, but even as a younger reader, the theft and treatment of women would have still made me dislike these characters. 5d
Daisey @Tamra I really can‘t recommend it. I like to see personal growth in characters, and if anything, I feel these regressed through their subsequent travels. 5d

Posting this for the #haikuhive - it made me chuckle! I could try to write this post in the form of a haiku but….no! 😝

It‘s from a UK company:

Howl, and other Poems | Allen Ginsberg

Pickpick

I read Howl back in college and didn't like Ginsberg's work or Beat poetry in general, but studying them further and disconnecting the meaning from the shocking and raunchy poems, I really like them. A lot of them are unfortunately still relevant today. the various poems are about: the government's mistreatment of the working class, anti-consumerism, and anti-war.
