Move Under Ground

I think this is the first book I've ever recommended here, probably because it's the first free book (worth reading) I've found online in a long time. Any-old-way, I'm only a few pages into Move Under Ground, but I can tell I'm gonna like it. It's got everything I like in a book; Jack Kerouac, existential brooding, obsessive detail, and of course a sliver of the never-ending eye of madness; brought to you by some good old-fashioned Lovecraftian horror.

The book follows Jack Kerouac, famous Beat writer, on a cross-country trip with William S. Burroughs and Neal Cassady (it's not important) seeking to stop the rise of Cthulhu. As trippy as the whole thing seems, read a couple pages. You won't regret it.
