On the Road ~ Jack Kerouac

This book was about discovering life by living without any rules. Sal and Dean go on a road trip across America to Mexico and back. They are in search of experiences to write about, and the stories of stolen cars, strange hitchhikers, odd jobs, wives, women and children are  based on the real life experiences of Kerouac and his pal Neal Cassady. Their indulgence in drugs and alcohol along the way could have contributed to the rambling yet creative spew of words that tell their story. They were definitely mad for life and had one wild trip.
