I had the same experience with it, around the same age. I also read "On the road" far too late in life, and it just didn't work for me.

- enobrev 6y agoI couldn't stand "on the road". Not sure when "too late" would be but I read it in my mind twenties. For a good amount of it, I gave it the benefit of the doubt telling myself it's simply from another time, but I quit half way through, unmoved, unchanged, and completely disinterested.
- UShouldBWorking 6y agoOn the Road is not a good book, my take is it was popular in the way Jackson Pollock was, it was so radically different that people had to take notice. However, keruack is a great writer and Darma Bums is one of my favorite.
