The Dharma Bums

Maybe it's that I'm not in my early twenties anymore, but Kerouac has lost his luster. Maybe it's just that Dharma Bums is not On the Road. Whatever the issue, this novel had no real draw for me. Nothing that compelled me to keep reading, nothing really to say that is was any good at all. Okay, I don't mind reading about hiking or about Buddhism. I'll give it that.
