Title: Makes me want to go hiking!
Review: This is the 2nd Kerouac book i've read (the first was "Maggie Cassidy") - and i found it enlightening and entertaining.It tells the story of a few young men and their lifestyle - that of a Dharma bum. The have very few possessions which they kepe is small shacks or in backpacks, and spend their time discovering nature and the dharma in this world.Kerouac's writing style varies - in certain parts it seems like pure fiction (describes parties, characters' interactions with family, etc.), at some points it seems very philisophical (i learned a bunch about Buddhism), and at some points it is just very descriptive (i live in NYC, and it made me miss nature.)There were a few parts that were "wordy," but overall this book reads quickly and is very enjoyable.
