Literary Wisdom

I have purchased yet more Kerouac for my ever growing collection of beat generation literature. However, I have arranged for it to be mailed directly to Stockholm, thus I do not have to consider how I can get it to Sweden in July. I have enough things to move as it is, and Ryanair is not particularly suited to such a practice, when one considers that you only receive a 15kg weight allowance. I feel more secure to know that I will have a beat library to read over there.

Beat Street

I've purchased a vintage 1940s original wool plaid shirt from the United States. When it arrives in the post, along with my vintage wool coat, it won't just be my library that is beat. I've been listening to Kerouac today on this site Kerouac Speaks, which include excerpts from the excellent documentary, What Happened to Kerouac? All I need now is a vintage typewriter.
