Nothing like <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6288.The_Road" title="The Road by Cormac McCarthy">On the Road</a>, its not about being a beatnik.  There are no drugs or road trips or crazy jazzmen...Its a sweet love story set in pure Americana in 20's Lowell.  <br/>I prefer the stories of his ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3898757">more...</a>]]></body>
