it was amazing
bookshelves: classics, favorites, autobiography, religion

For me this book draws the ideas of Jack Kerouac full circle (ensō). A beautiful meditation on the transitory nature of existence. How I wish I could have just hung out with Jack; think he is the kind of person that would have helped you see yourself more clearly from just having gotten to know him.
