On the Road
2007 marks the 50 year anniversary of this book! To me this is a good boy/bad boy story: Sal Paradise (good boy) and Dean Moriarty (bad boy). These guys have some crazy adventures that take them across the country. I can’t help but notice that when they aren’t together you get to see Sal’s heart. After all, Dean is only out for kicks, Sal even starts calling him “the Holy Goof.” Keep in mind that this book is a true story, names and places were changed. Sal is really Jack Kerouac and Dean is Neal Cassady.
