independent nature.? Greetings,
a few years ago i was told that i should read a Jack Kerouac book, told by a few ppl that it was the kind of reading
i would like since previously i was very enticed by Conrad Aiken's poems, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ginsberg and particularly Oscar Wilde. I also enjoyed reading Catcher in the Rye,The Great Gatsby and have since developed a great passion for the much more recent author Augusten Burroughs books. In the recent past i have read all of his books (which, are not as many as that sounds) but boy, they sure were great. I rented Augusten's audiotapes from my library and while i prefer to not follow the mainstream and read what everyone else is currently reading, i was given a very popular book this past November that, I was truly very surprise with. I ended up liking this book very much, it was called the Glass castle.
Oh so sorry, I am rambling', back to that Kerouac book, as i was saying, recently i read Kerouac for the first time, his book called On the Road, It had various bouts of phenomenal descriptive quotes regarding love, nature, pain, life, loss and the beat generation, all things i am very interested in, but (please don't laugh) while i was trying to read it I struggled so hard to understand its complex wording that got me lost often in trying to comprehend the reading. It does not help that i have multiple learning disabilities that i have had ever since school work Because actual work!. in other words, since 3rd-4the grade, i had a unbelievable difficulty understanding complex vernacular, the kind that Kerouac uses in his books constantly. I tried reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's (the guy who wrote The Great Gatsby) book called This Side of Paradise figuring id like it but it didn't interest me. Until Augusten puts out a new book, i feel so lost because there aren't any books like his that I've liked. The only other author i enjoyed who came close to my adornment for Augustens books was Elizabeth Wurtzel who wrote Prozac Nation. To find books like Augustens, I have tried to enjoy David Sedaris's books. I read two, Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family....etc, in all, I found it not hardly as funny or even as entertaining as i read by its reviews by others. i would very much appreciate recommendations of authors like any of the authors i have named above whose books i covet. or just recommending a book that you truly think i might enjoy that are like any of these that i mentioned i enjoyed.
Thank you so much!
