Literary icon Jack Kerouac

This week Kathleen goes way back to the 1960′s for her pick of the week with Big Sur by Jack Kerouac.  This dark read may not be for everyone as it gives a glimpse into the mind of an alcoholic on the verge of a nervous breakdown.  But if for nothing else, Kerouac’s unique and free writing style makes this book worth picking up.

The universe seems to be split on the talent of Jack Kerouac.  What do you think?  Literary icon or not worth reading?
