since we are going to read on the road, i thought people might like to know that it is based on trips that he made with neal cassedy and by himself. the first trip they went to san fran. then neal left to go back to nyc but jack came back on his own. he then went travaling on his own. the third trip was him and neal driving with friends in a beat up 38 coup to san fran again. the last trip they went down to mexico. another intersting fact about the book is it starts with sal's wife leaving him this was based on jack's 2nd wife leaving him. he also wrote the book in one sitting. in order to do this he took typing paper and taped it in to one long sheet and just wrote the entire thing in a month nonstop. i thought this was cool cuz how many peole just sit down and write a book in one sitting. so when you start reading it is based on real events he just sorta changed names and events a bit but other then that it is all true. i have not started it yet but i will soon.
