Anybody else think Jack Kerouac's travel literature is comfy as fuck?
Highlights include:
>hitchhiking and riding with various colourful characters, including bums, a beautiful blonde in nothing but a bikini, and Oklahoman teenagers
>smoking tea with jazz legends and Mexi beauts
>being locked out of doors in Brittany, France at 3am
>etc.
Can we get an appreciation thread?

kerouac has a poor reputation round these parts, but i'm pretty sure that's a result of most of us only having read the edited version of on the road. dharma bums is a beautiful work that captures something transcendent.

he was a racist white man
Loved Dharma Bums. His story about spending a couple of months as a lookout made me want to dedicate a summer to forestry, since I'm actually from Washington State.
