Hi David, probably the Dharma Bums (Bagabundos de Darma- read it in spanish), of course On the Road, but Dharma Bums is more spiritual. The first one of Kerouac The Town and the City is also a great book, but less of a beat piece

Yes, the Dharma Bums was more spiritual and also a great read.

Mind Breaths by Ginsberg is pretty solid. I love that he portrays himself as so many different things. It shows how impossible it is to completely capture a person with words.

Interesting choice!

So far I dig On the Road as sort of the quintessential Beat manuscript.

It's certainly a classic, and for good reason.
