On the Road was enjoying a resurgence of popularity when I was in high school. My friends and I (remember the hippies?) were all quite taken with the Beats in general. I'd like to have time to revisit it one of these years.

Latelatebloomer--That's so exciting that you're writing. Be sure to let us know when your books hit the shelves.

Mudmucker--Enjoy reading Ulysses! It was a defining read of my life and changed me, in grad school, from an Americanist to a scholar of modernist Irish & English fiction.
