On The Road reflects its author so much in my opinion. I loved it as a young man but as I got older I started to feel it mugged me off a little, very like Catcher in the Rye, a book I came to despise when John Lennon was murdered. Anyway, I recommend reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. No matter what mood I'm in, I find that book still excites me and at the same time calms me. (Btw, I'm a bit drunk tonight.)
