Day 194. Jack Kerouac is taking me On the Road. I’m reading the original scroll, not the 1957 edition. It’s research for a character in my screenplay. I love reading—novels, non-fiction, self-help, memoirs, classics, More magazine, tweets—you name it, I probably like to read it. Reading is like traveling to me—another love of mine. Instead of being on a bus or on a plane or on my feet, I’m traveling on words.
“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” ―Jack Kerouac, On the Road: The Original ScrollUntil tomorrow, create from what you have…reading.
I like this comparison. Reading is such a getaway and I love it as well. Perhaps that is part of the reason we get along so well!
Yes, probably has something to do with it! 🙂
Said perfectly, “reading is such a getaway!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I so appreciate it.
