My son told me it took him about two years to finish reading On the Road, but I'm bucking for two days. I am already one-third of the way through, so it's possible - especially since we're having our retreat tomorrow (for work) and I'll have plenty of spare time to read while we're there.
So about the book - interesting so far. Not something I would normally read, but I am glad to be experiencing it. If I remember correctly, Jack Kerouac really did bum around the country like Sal, so as a fictional autobiography, it does give a good portrait of the Beat movement in that time. I myself spent some time hitchhiking across the country, so it's giving me some interesting flashbacks at least!
