Becky: 3.o Liked Kerouac 20x better in college with On the Road as life seems the artistic, soul searching journey. It was mostly drunken rambling to my 30 year old years. Only Becky and Rebecca finished the book and nobody read the poem at the end.
Rebecca: 5.5 The loose punctuation was not an issue when reading, but it can get in the way at times. Did not see the purpose of the story. Too much rambling drunkenness which was distracting and made it difficult to pay attention to.
Jennifer: 2.5 (1/2-3/4 done) Wasn't sure what is was about. Phooey she said when it was due to the library, and turned it back in. Wasn't sure what she read.
Rachel: 2.0 (pg 23) Liked the reference to Delena of Tremors, her favorite beer. She had just travels to the famous 'beat' locations in San Fran. Her dad had predicted she wouldn't like it.
Anne: 2.0 (pg 45) Loved On the Road in college but annoyed by this book. She had no empathy as he played the victom, and as he tried to get away from it all, he had a very hard time with it.
Tina: 4.5 (pg 32) Read in 2 long time frame, which she thinks helped. Casey read it too with, "you can't think about it, don't read the words, be the experience". This book is easier to skim as you get the impression, which is more enjoyable. Allowed her to let go of the control of of reading.
Angie: (n/a) Was helping Tina buy a house and car. Didn't open the book.
Dana: (n/a) Didn't purchase the book, but tried to research the 'beat' generation (intro in 1948), and 'beatnik' (intro as a term in 1956).
Going on in the world right now: Obama wins. Auto Industry going under without help of the gov.
Going on with us right now: Tina bought house (w/help of Angie), baby girl due in March. Rebecca books trip to Mexico.
