You might not have given any of your lovely words in decades, but you will be missed.

"What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse."

Or try his short stories, it could be that just his writing style isn't your thing...

Who cares when you got the BEATS! *sigh* I sorta going through a whole new Beat phase!

LOL. Well, I did . . . plod through Jack Kerouac's On the Road somehow, which I ended up feeling "meh" about it, but I mostly like The Beats for their poetry and their off-the-wall lifestyles, haha.
