He's probably most known for Go Tell It On The Mountain (I haven't read it, but it's essentially about the experience of growing up black in the 1930's-40's) and Another Country, which I would recommend, which is about the dynamics of interracial couples and friendships (it's not a "black or white" book in any sense of the word though, it's actually extraordinarily complex and portrays people as more than just their ethnicity/orientation)

I read most of On The Road last year in between class breaks, and the only way I could get through it was by gulping down as much coffee as I could LOL. WELL worth it tho; it's one of my all time favorite books. Baldwin wasn't a beat, but he started writing in the 50's, and he was both African American and gay, and so there's a strong emphasis on the questioning of morality and norms. Also, his prose is massively beautiful and passionate.

@gnites88 You know I have to say, I severely dislike Kerouac's poetry LOL! It's imitation art if you ask me. Especially compared to great poets like Ginsberg. The writing in his novels is fantastic, however. If reading Naked Lunch is like taking Heroin mixed w/ a bunch of stuff, reading Kerouac is like going through the depressive and manic staes of bipolar disorder. I mean, it's the opposite of Hemingway - he goes on for pages and times without using a period once.

Book Review- The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingwayby TheMediacasting701 views
Man, I really need to get into Hemingway. I'll probably read The Old Man and the Sea over Christmas break after seeing your review of it. Great Cowboy Bebop reference, by the way. Not sure if anyone else caught that.

I need to read this. Have you read anything by Kerouac or James Baldwin? Those are two of my favorite writers.

@BloodyRose3000 Ha found one of my oldies...I've read some Kerouac poetry, that's about it. I know I'm far behind having never even read On the Road. What's Baldwin like? Was he a beat too?
