On the Road

On the bus I started reading “On the Road”. And very aptly so. The frenzy and madness of a book which makes you relive travels if you know them and makes you understand them if you haven't, cannot better be read than when you are in a hurry in a crowded and confined space.

The narrative has a rhythm and a flow which made me surge through the book as the hero Dean races from one coastline to the other. A remarkable feeling to drop everything and just go is what it unravels.

The characters at times reminded me of characters in a Hunter S. Thompson novel (e.g. page 129). A lovely read.
