I carried on to read a few more of his; the best of which was Big Sur. I'd consider re-reading it... but my patience and tolerance levels have diminished over the years, it might be too much of a chore second time around, so maybe not.

I didn't particularly care for it, but could appreciate how his writing style and prose was so different than anything else being written at the time and how that, in turn, really influenced writers to come.
