  3. "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac, published on this day in 1957. A cornerstone of American literature and culture. John Leland, author of "Why Kerouac Matters: The Lessons of On the Road (They're Not What You Think)", says "We're no longer shocked by the sex and drugs. The slang is passé and at times corny. Some of the racial sentimentality is appalling" but adds "the tale of passionate friendship and the search for revelation are timeless. These are as elusive and precious in our time as in Sal's, and will be when our grandchildren celebrate the book's hundredth anniversary."
    Hard to imagine how we get Hunter S. Thompson without "On The Road".
