After having "On the Road" suggested to me by numerous friends and family i finally made time to read it. From Chapter 1 i found this novel boring and predictable. After some time (3/4's through the book) i realized this novel isn't written for me. It's written for anyone who either does not travel, doesn't have the balls to travel or doesn't take chances in everyday life. I can sort of see why this novel appeals to so many in my generation but i still have to say, spend a night drinking and bar hopping and your likely to learn more than you will in "On the Road".
