I enjoyed this 7 or 8 years ago when I first read it. Bit the second read through is much better.

This started strong and then sort of petered out towards the end. Still, it was entertaining and worth reading.

This wasn't great. Nor was it good; Women by Charles Bukowski is repetitive, drawn-out with occasional sections that are interesting.

I finished it because I started it, and I needed to know how this sort of character-driven nearly-plotless story would end.

It redeems itself a little at the end. But it's probably 200 pages too late...

I don't recommend this one. His other novels are more interesting.

A interesting and insightful read, Hari takes you through the history of modern treatment for depression and anxiety. He also shows some potential nonmedicated options for treating/managing depression and anxiety.

This was a thoroughly worthwhile read.

This starts off strong and then peters out about halfway through.

Wonderfully simple story; well written and gripping to the last page.

Powerful. Beautifully simple. Haunting.

Brilliant. Entertaining. Lovecraftian.

Once again, Stephen King creates a set of characters you care about. And tells a creepy, captivating story with heavy overtones of Lovecraft...with the obvious exception being King's prose is far better than Lovecraft's.

One of King's best.

A good collection of Kerouac's haiku; & the introduction is a useful, short explanation of the history of haiku and Kerouac's role in anglicising haiku.

"We gotta go and never stop going till we get there."
"Where we going, man?"
"I don't know, but we gotta go."

Brilliant. Powerful. Well-told.

A story set during and after WW2, Funder's story--while having a typical nostalgia for a certiain idea of Sydney--is captivating, thought-provoking while still being fun to read.

Lovely. Powerful. Haunting.

I highly recommend this: it won't take you long to read, and the story will stay with you asking to be thought about & reread.

Catch-22 is: entertaining, frustrating, intriguing, tedious, funny, aggravating & captivating.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Ah, finally. A new book of poetry that makes me feel something.

You should read this.

A lot of drinking and driving. And unlike American road novels, there's no journey of discovery or search for something.
Typically Australian; this novel's apathy is well executed & if you can put up with it, the novel is worth reading.

One of the better biographies of the Beat Generation.

This is the story of Luann Henderson, Neil Cassady's first wife, and how she remembers her time on the road with Kerouac, Cassady and the other Beats.

Definitely a must read if you're interested in the Beat Generation or just 'On the Road'.

The poetry you read when you don't want to read the poetry you read when you don't want to read poetry.
