Booked my train tickets this morning for a day trip to Birmingham on Saturday. Why ? To see the original manuscript of On The Road by Jack Kerouac - a book I was more than a little obsessed with for a while !! The cool thing about this manuscript is that the entire novel was written on one continuous roll of paper so he wouldn't need to change pages and interrupt his stream of conciousness writing.
Couple of interesting links for those interested in this kind of thing ...
