Jack Kerouac's 37 metre-long, first draft scroll of On the Road to be auctioned

πŸ’‘ I'm all about making this iconic scroll accessible to the public 🀝. It's a piece of literary history that should be shared with everyone πŸ“š. Let's hope whoever buys it will consider donating it to a reputable library or museum where we can all appreciate its significance and see the fluid, uninterrupted prose that Kerouac poured his heart into πŸ’•. The fact that he wrote it in such a frenzied state makes it even more fascinating, don't you think? 🀯 It's like getting a glimpse into the mind of a true creative genius 🎨.
 
I'm gonna be so sad if this scroll ends up in some private collector's hands πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ... I mean, can you imagine how cool it would be to have a piece of Beat history right here in the US? πŸŽ‰ I'd love to see it on display at the Library of Congress or something - that way everyone could come and read it for themselves. And think about all the young writers out there who could learn from Kerouac's unconventional style πŸ˜‚... this auction is like a treasure hunt for book lovers! πŸ’‘
 
OMG 🀯 this is going to be EPIC 😲! Did you know that Jack Kerouac wrote On the Road in like 3 weeks? πŸ•°οΈ That's crazy fast for a book! And can we talk about how iconic this scroll is? πŸ€“ I mean, it's literally the most famous artefact of the Beat Generation. πŸŽ‰ The fact that it was written on tracing paper with no paragraphs or chapters is so cool 😎. It's like Kerouac just let his words flow and didn't care what others thought! πŸ’– The scroll is currently 37 meters long, which is like... a whole lotta writing πŸ“š! I'm keeping an eye on this auction, fingers crossed that it goes to a public institution so we can all appreciate its beauty πŸ›οΈ. By the way, did you know that Kerouac's original manuscript has sold for over $6 million in the past? πŸ’Έ The Jim Irsay Collection is like a treasure trove of literary history 🌟!
 
Its crazy to think about this scroll just sitting around all these years...I mean, who has that kind of space in their house or office to store a 37-meter-long scroll? 🀯 Christie's is gonna make some serious cash off it when it goes up for auction in March...I'm curious to see if anyone's gonna bid on it and make it available to the public. I think it's kinda cool that they're selling all these other historical items too, like Paul McCartney's handwritten lyrics 🎸
