This was the only book I've ever read where I finished it and I was like "wow that was bad"
Most of the time even if I didn't particularly like a book I'm like picrel, but On The Road I closed the last page and was like "that was awful"
>>25261260Moriarty was based as fuck, though. Apparently, the meta for getting infinite pussy back then was to look like this.
boomers really thought they were renegades by traveling around the country like a zonked out hobo and falling in love with whores lmao
To recap:>day 1: I'm taking benzos>day 37: I'm in Nevada. This hipster bitch says something: I take DXM and forget>day 52: Brooklyn is over even though I'm 50 or whatever years too early>day 59: [necks vodka like a snake swallowing an egg]>day 72: ah yes california but i can't even appreciate it because i'm too cool to not want to kill myselfIt was something like that, *I* certainly wanted to kill myself by the end of it
The part where Kerouac keps saying he wished he was black wad the worst part. The scene where he dreams he is literally trash was the most interesting>>25261265He was kind of a loser. Most of the pussy he got is underage which requires no special skill, that's why seducing virgins was seldom praised historically. He fucked that one guy's gf at the beginning but she was obviously a slut. Moriarty was a BPD whore in a man's body. Homo infatuation for him made the other beats like him and see him as special just as simps always do with BDP sluts who are not special at all. And he just used them for money and burned them
Kerouack’s Alcoholism was honestly very week and cowardly. Whatever story he was telling about not wanting to rehearse for whatever Late Show, and going into a defensive panic while running out to chug like an entire handle of whiskey. I literally have more respect for Burroughs writing about laying in bed crying he can’t be with his moroccan child-boyfriend any more after he got the kid killed performing sex crimes on him
>>25261286Meek* and cowardly Reading card-carrying NAMBLA member Alan Ginsberg tease himself about ‘smoking too much grass’ is probably the most disgusting thing I’ve ever sat still for
>>25261286Because Kerouac wrote from a sense of genuine nostalgia for the lifestyle, even strung out on heroin in Mexico fucking child prostitutes. Burroughs did not have any illusions of nostalgia whatsoever
Jack acted like ‘people’ were ‘doing something to him but who is supposed to feel ‘fault’ for him going on a big road trip, fucking, and doing drugs?
>>25261286what book did burroughs write about that

>>25261260bro try the bible
>>25261348Nova Express. The finale is amazing really. The cosmos basically arrest an evil gay dying gas giant for crimes against biology and then sentence it to life within the body of a local human gay pedophile serial sex criminal and slow family annihilator William S Burroughs, for their shared crime of traveling to spot to spot hooking everyone on drugs and poison just to get off on the violent rape orgies and get the fuck out of there when the cops come and arrest everyone else whose bodies minds and souls they destroyed just because they’re only comfortable in the criminal rape conditions they were born in
>>25261260I enjoyed it during the first half, but the second half was basically him doing everything he'd already done again because (I suspect) what he really wanted was to fuck his best friend but couldn't bring himself to acknowledge those feelings (intimate love for a man) so he kept trying to fuck underage girls to impress him instead.
>>25261361I wouldn't be able to finish it
>>25261260Read the original version alongside it. One can see how much his gay publisher at Viking tried to subvert normies.
>>25261260I had that reaction as a teen, reread it ten years later as an adult and could pick up on all the Catholic themes and loved it.>>25261373Only faggots assume that every male character/author is a faggot because of deep friendships.
>>25261373>>25261469Jack seems flatly straight but I would be surprised if he never did something loosely homosexual with all these gays on heroin who loved him for he accepting gays. That’s not to say all male relationship is gay that’s to say on heroin Jack seems like he could turn what would otherwise be unwarranted gay molestation into an ok time
>>25261285>He was kind of a loser. Most of the pussy he got is underage which requires no special skillHoly foid cope. Yeah man it's much harder bagging 30yo roasties with gaping snatches than tight barely-legal/not legal virgin pussy. Enjoy your Good Boy Points for that one.
>>25261521You're a virgin, my first gf was fifteen and I have been at it for a while. Girls in highschool are not as jaded and if they haven't had sex and are horny pretty much all they need is someone to encourage them into it, they don't even realize every man would have sex with them. Also an older (not "old") man is still exotic to them. They also can't tell the difference between hormones and reality so they literally believe they are in love and have found their forever and eternity if you just turn them on and reciprocate.A few years out of high school, most girls have had these experiences and suffered disillusionment and wises up that real.life isn't a movie. Just like any man who has had a little experience with women has had his illusions about them crushed
>>25261535Women become much more whorish as they age and they become evennmore desperate post-wall. Fact.
>>25261538I'm talking about women who are young but have already been manipulated and fucked a few times
>>25261513He was a tortured alcoholic American writer, there is a 100% chance he was not completely straight. But I was talking about Sal, not Jack.
>>25261260you're just a contrarian fag so far up your own ass you can't even make a proper bait postdid you even thing what this says about you if that's the only book you finish and think it's bad? do you even read? do you somehow only read good books because of how smart you are? do you just instadrop books you feel are bad but this one you made an exception for the plebs just to say how bad it was? fucking faggot
>>25261705Saying The Road is bad isn't very contrarian thoughever
>>25261723It isn't on this board but we like contrarian critics like Capote and Nabokov
>>25261260>I was like "wow that was bad"Clearly you're an eminent judge of literature.
>>25261723on the road, the road is mccarthy's you dumbassand yes it is, it's the quintessential novel of breaking through adolescence when all those juices start flowing and you want to see, hear, touch and understanding everything all at the same time, which in turn at least creates/strikes a chord with a nostalgic memory, regardless of how shallow or incomplete you end up seeing it later on as you further growthe only way this doesn't happen is if you're a stunted cretin who's stuck on tolstoevskian prepubescence slop trying to seem moral or a contrarian fag whose sole human interaction is (you)sand it certainly doesn't help how womanly and redditroonish all these besides-the-point arguments are>ughh irl wasn't x who was a friend of y actually gay and like had this mental disorder or something and let me project some more maybe>ughh sweaty i just checked your comment history and ugh it's problematic i can't evenhonestly disgusting i get to share the same planet with some of you worthless dipshits
>>25261469>every male character/author is a faggot because of deep friendshipsKerouac being a closeted home is just a personal interpretation of mine, but undoubtedly most of his actions are to earn the admiration of his close male friend (including sleeping with some of the people he sleeps with, which Kerouac admits and which led me to suspect a sexual nature to the friendship in the first place). Kerouac having repressed romantic feelings for his intimate friend seems like the simplest answer to me as to why throughout the book he tends to act the way a middle school boy acts towards a girl he has a crush on.
>>25261705KIDF detected
>>25261538But that's different. The other anon is entirely correct. You are talking about jaded whores badly looking for a man to provide for them. They're not under romantic illusions
