what other books would you keroauc fans recommend, (travel and the american dreams) something beautiful with a heart of gold but still with a healthy supply of kicks and good times

i've read on the road and dharma bums, i haven't read big sur, i've read part of subterraneans its pretty good,  i probably should have worded my question better, books by authors other than keroauc that you keroauc fans would recommend, i just love that american dream that he portrays

Chuck Bukowski is another Beat generation writer, who had similar experiences as Kerouac, though he was a much more isolated individual.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is another good one, along with Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck.

I'm also not sure quite how you mean the "American Dream". His books are about the rejection of the American lifestyle, and clearly the death of the American Dream ideal.

His ideas were not, and are still not considered socially acceptable by the majority of the populace.

Try these by Kerouac:

Desolation Angels

Tristessa

And you cant go wrong with any of what Bukowski has written.

desolation angels is a great read, though it's pretty lengthy compared to any of his other works.

I've gotta agree on the Bukowski tip, Ham & Rye being my favorite of his books.

Also, love Richard Brautigan.

Of course the easy thing would be to just track down anything from Kerouac's friends in all the books (Ginsburg, Cassady, Burrough, etc.)
