essay.
What's the essay about? Perhaps we can inspire you and drag you away from bad influences.
Quote: zooo @ March 22 2011, 1:50 PM GMTNot after that.
Not very sexy. Oh no.

This one is about sex and sexuality in On the Road. I have four to do.
Kerouac was a massive slut. The end.

Yes. I see you what you mean. Never read that. Is it actually an interesting read or all a bit indulgent?

And a bit of a homophobe.

Can't be any sluttier than Charles Bukowski. He's well dirty.

Oh. That's a bit boring.

It's quite interesting but not all it's cracked up to be. It's not like groundbreaking, though I suppose it might have been in 1957.

And Ginsberg. And Cassady.

Or am I misremembering.
He's quite poo anyway.

Yeah. Like Monty Python were in the early '70's. Groundbreaking telly then. Try watching it now, though. Ooh dear.

It's one of those ones that gets built up massively, and then you read it and it's quite disappointing.
Quote: john lucas 101 @ March 22 2011, 1:57 PM GMTOh. That's a bit boring.
It was the fifties, man! We all ragged on the gays back then. Chill out.

I remember quite enjoying it.
But Ginsberg = hugely gay!
The scroll is more interesting than the novel. More sweary.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ March 22 2011, 2:00 PM GMTI remember quite enjoying it.
Did you read it in the '50s?
Hee. Well it's good that some people still like it.

And I thought you were sensitive!
