Just got back from my day trip up to Birmingham to see the scroll of "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac. The scroll was, well, a scroll - but it was really cool to see it after reading so much about it a few years ago. Crazy to think it was last bought by some football club owner in America for US$2.4 million dollars. What was probably more interesting than the scroll itself was an interactive display of one of Kerouacs' journals that he wrote when preparing for writing "On The Road". Contained some really interesting musings.
Anyway - no photos of the scroll itself. There was no photography allowed and I try not to get into the whole "trophy" photography thing (i.e. been there done that snapshots). Here you can find a far better shot than I could have got anyway (linked from this article.)
