On the Road is a 2012 film adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel of the same name directed by Walter Salles and starring Sam Riley as Sal Paradise and Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty. It is being executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola. Filming began on August 4, 2010, in Montreal, Canada, with a $25 million budget. The story is based on the years Kerouac spent traveling America in the 1940s with his friend Neal Cassady and several other figures who would go on to fame in their own right, including William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

BORING
Supposed to be a classic, I found the book utterly boring
It is a classic.
Though it maybe considered boring for the MTV-Pop Idol generation.
Also, where's the other thread? I searched yesterday before posting this one but couldn't find anything.
I am not of the MTV-Pop Idol generation. I was out of high school before MTV even started.
I just couldn't get into the book. I tried, I just couldn’t.
And here’s the other thread, don’t know why it didn’t come up when you did your search.
and catefrances (from the original thread) has a point, it may have just been my mind set at the time I read it

Ah, it was on page 3 of the search. I didn't bother scrolling that far.
I read it twice. Enjoyed it a lot more the second time. Maybe the hype effected it the first time around.
