“we pass the fields of Perry and Madrone and where they make wine, and it's all there, all sweet the furrows of brown, with blossoms and one time we took a siding to wait for 98 and I ran out there like the hound of the Baskervilles and got me a few old prunes not longer fitten to eat - the propietor seeing me, trainman running guiltily back to engine with a stolen prune, always I was running, always was running, running to throw switches, running in my sleep and running now - happy.” Best sections for me, came on wards from 'Slobs of the Kitchen Sea'. I enjoyed the writing style and flow tho. Reading about one train was enough for me but there was the odd beauty of a sentence that pushed me on. “No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength. This was an interesting read, but only recommended for those deeply interested in the beats. Standing on the engine of a train as it rushes past fields of prickly cactus; witnessing his first bullfight in Mexico while high on opium; catching up with the beat night life in New York; burying himself in the snow-capped mountains of north-west America; meditating on a sunlit roof in Tangiers; or falling in love with Montmartre and the huge white basilica of Sacré-Coeur – Kerouac reveals the endless diversity of human life and his own high-spirited philosophy of self-fulfilment.Some of the final sections of Lonesome Traveler are really worth reading. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of At it's worst it was written in the style of a less gruesome Burroughs novel. It was one of those great Kerouac descriptions were nothing much happens except two people bum around a bit, and it's simply engrossing. Kerouac's elongated sentences, unorthodox usage of grammar and atypical writing methods is as cumbersome here as it ever was. It was definitely some of his more beautiful prose, in particular the first story about meeting his friend. There was also a lot of descriptions of the cheap food he was able to find, and how even when he didn't need to he still tried to live as cheaply as possible (something I identify with). Best sections for me, came on wards from 'Slobs of the Kitchen Sea'.

With the dull ones Kerouac doesn't really get anywhere and e.g. He poignantly writes about the way society, while becoming more suburban and prosperous in the 1950's, is much less tolerant of hobos. We all know how real our “I never dwelt on the dark farcical furious real life of this roaring working world, wow.” We all know how real ourdreamscan feel at times. My favorite times were the passages where Kerouac spends a summer in solitude, working for the US Forestry service, and subsequently travels to Europe. Be the first to ask a question about Lonesome Traveler A lot of this was pretty redundant, given the autobiographical nature of his fiction, but it was still a nice little window into the stories behind the stories.I started reading this on the US election day. “For when you realized that God is Everything you know that you've got to love everything no matter how bad it is, in the ultimate sense it was neither good nor bad (consider the dust), it was just what was, that is, what we made to appear.” 'Perhaps, in the future, I will lie awake at night, an ancient and wrinkled man, my insane ambitions complete but my heart still broken, my life oddly empty.

“Sixty three sunsets I saw revolve on that perpendicular hill – mad raging sunsets pouring in sea foams of cloud through unimaginable crags like the crags you grayly drew in pencil as a child, with every rose-tint of hope beyond, making you feel just like them, brilliant and bleak beyond words. Its quality is hugely variable, ranging from gripping, energetic, original prose to truly dreadful and self-indulgent dreck.

"God is in all things that move, and God is in all things that do not move."
His travels were great to read about and I can't wait to read some more of his stories. The impact of Dwight Goddard (1861-1938) on Jack Kerouac's interest in and study of Buddhism continue to be understudied, even as Kerouac himself continues to be a figure of interest. He poignantly writes about the way society, while becoming more suburban and prosperous in the 1950's, is much I'm giving this book 4 stars for the last part, The Vanishing American Hobo.

Far from stream-of-consciousness or spontaneous prose, these well-chosen words are carefully worked out.PRO: The sketches in this memoir show K to be an observant writer, using poetic language that doesn’t make for a relaxing straight-through read but does make for a great study in descriptive exposition for would-be writers. This book was a little odd in that it was re-telling stories he'd covered in other novels, but I really enjoyed the way he told them in this. I'm giving this book 4 stars for the last part, The Vanishing American Hobo. And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it’s all in my mind.” It took me a couple of chapters to get into this book, once Jack started writing about working on trains, you could really feel his love for trains and I was able to get into the story then.
