Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

It´s my third Kerouac book.
I founded that there is someone more crazy than myself in relation to the sea.
I´m near the middle.

(the book was edited in 2003 as "the first spanish version", is that possible?)

haven;t read the novel yet, but i read the peom Sea that is contained therein.

how does Kerouac come across en espanol?

the poem Sea is at the end of the book and it is not translated. The rest of the book has been translated to spanish, somehow.

Jack really dug into the depths of his pain for this one....read it a few years bck sitting on a beach in Cuba knocking back atrocious amounts of rum.....

"Cuba and atrocious amounts of rum", well... without "atrocious amounts of" it sounds really good!
I lost (in my home) the book last tuesday. It´s strange (or not, it´s not the first time I can´t find things for some days). I couldn´t find it yet. There must be somewhere or maybe someone took the book without noticing it. So, I´m still in the middle.

I found the book again!! (I was between undone school work that I have to finally finish this week).

Big Sur was a pretty intense read. Of course, I read the last third of it in one night drinking way too much coffee... I was convinced that I was going crazy by the end of it, but that was just the caffeine

It's a good book. I rank it 3 out of the 4 JK novels I've read (4- On the Road, 2 - the Dharma Bums, 1 - Dr. Sax. Yeah, OTR's at the bottom)

I finished the book! (It made me not want to drink alcohol in two weeks!).
I like it. I marked some parts.

Now I HAVE to read (maybe later is possible that I also WANT to read it) Othello, Anthony & Cleopatra, El Banquete and El Cantar de los Cantares...

what did you like about the book?

how does it compare w/ other Kerouackian novels?

What I liked: the narrator was visible tired.

I read On the road and The Dharma bums ten years ago. I have bad memory and I don´t have these books near me (I lend On the road to my friend denis and The Dharma... was from the public library). I remember that I liked The Dharma Bums very much when I read it, more than On the road. I would like to read it now again

your message made me reflect on how long it has been since i read OTR and it must be at least nine years since the last, around ten since the first time reading On The Road. wow.

i think that book totally wrecked my life. or at least, my liver and my lungs.

P.S. and when i am an (in)famous author, that can be a quote appended to future new editions of OTR as a blurb.

mmmmmm... I already answer this...
