    It can.

    Read a couple of Mark Twain books and get back to me on that....or maybe Harriet Beecher Stowe.

    on the road - jack kerouac

    found this on one of our daughters high school bookshelf. i'd heard of it, and seen it referenced many times, but had never read it.
    i had no idea the sixties started in the forties.

    Wow!

    Think I have read on the road three, maybe four times. Last about nine (?) years ago when I was doing field work in the State of Washington. Between Kerouac and Ken Kesey they had the freaky road trip genre pretty well covered.

    Would have loved to spend a couple of hours talking to either of them. Well, I did all my incredibly stupid bumming rides when I was 16/17 and lived to tell the tales.

    I'm currently on "forever hold' for The Shepherd's Life.
    Placed a hold for The Place of Tides. (thanks!)

    Tides had a dozen people ahead of me on the library hold list. Shepherd's had four. I spent the $ at local bookstore for Tides. Took about 30 or so pages to get into it...but very good so far.

    My shoulder, not so good.
