Interesting thread Mac. Hope some of our literary folk get in here.I enjoyed both books, but felt that I had "missed out" on things by being born in the late 40s, rather than the 20s or 30s. Easy Rider had a great affect on me but by then I was drivin' everywhere, and television was providing me with pictures of other parts of North America. Same thing when I hitched all over Europe...I knew I was middle class and could have taken the trains or busses if I'd wanted. My fantasies went into music.
