I read this Jack Kerouac novel 2 weeks ago, my first one of his, and as I live in the UK I had to go seek it out...we don't necessarily get exposed to classic American literature over here.

Does anyone who has read it agree with me that it is one of the ultimate SP books? It certainly rings true with me in that I would love to have made those journeys just for the sake of making them, and yet maybe I would have found travelling with Dean Moriarty/Neal Cassady (who I have read somewhere is the epitome of the ESFP) a little too wacky and intense. And Kerouac's whole style of writing...it's just beautiful. Yes, sketchy and unprepared stream of consciousness stuff...but it seems so natural.

So...who's with me?
