beat(nik) this

Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg books courtesy of my father (thanks, dad!). Yeah, 2008 will rock n' roll as far as my readings are concerned.

With that, I just want to say RIP to Norman Mailer, who died November 10 due to acute renal failure. I only found out about it last Sunday, when my wife and I were at Fully Booked-High Street. Man, it was sad. I've read two of his works, An American Dream and Tough Guy Don't Dance, and enjoyed them immensely.
