considering the "Idiot" is the only sensible and intelligent character in the story, perhaps it would 
as for kerouac, read the dharma bums, big sur, and the subterraneans (plus satori in paris for good measure) - he really developed his speeded-out style to perfection in them...

Current:
Ray Bradbury - The Cat's Pajamas (collection of short stories)
- I've been working on this one for quite some time... I like to just read a story or two, then set it back on the shelf... Its a nice book to mix into my other readings.
V. S. Ramachandran - A Brief Tour of Human Consciou5ness
- Its a decent read I suppose... Saw a review of it way back and thought it would be good because it deals with a lot of things like phantom limbs, synaesthesia, etc... To be honest, its an easy read, but I'm just not feeling it as the amount of time that seems to be dedicated to any one concept is minimal. This books seems like it might be a gateway into other books which deal more in depth.

I'm currently reading Stephen King's "Skeleton Crew". I think I'm going to be doing some researching for a bit of writing I'll hopefully be starting soon, so I'm not yet sure what book I'll be reading yet.

simisu said: last thing i was reading was Godel, Eshcher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid a metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of lewis carroll
it's a facinating book but i got too lazy... there's just SO much informaition in it that i felt like i had to check everything he was talking about befor i could continue (like listen to Bach's diffrent works, read about music theorie, understand the mathematics he was talking about... it was just too much for me)
a friend gave it to me after i described to him how i keep getting stuck when trying to explain reality to my self  he said that this book tied some ends for him and sounded alot like what i was talking about... maybe i should make an effort and read it now? it's been sitting on my desk for a while now!
I had a professor recommend that book to me. Went to the library and saw how thick that fucking book was. Cracked it open and read the intro and a few pages. I thought the exact same thing you did. I need more knowledge about pretty much everything if I'm going to enjoy that book. 
I've heard nothing but good things about that book though.
