I genuinely loved this book as a fan of Greek mythology and the author does a wonderful job in creating the perfect story that can be enjoyed by all ages. I would highly recommend if you enjoy reading Greek mythology.

Nanette’s Quotes

“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.”
― John Milton, Areopagitica

Although Jack Kerouac is best known for On the Road, where he paints his prose, my recent read by Kerouac, The Town And The City, is painted with scenes of city and country landscapes, a lead to his famous On the road.

The Town and the City is a coming-of-age autobiographical book, where I got insight into Kerouac's family background; his parents, his brothers and sisters. I'm into a coming-of-age book now, so Kerouac's The Town And The City was a good read.
