BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- Bismarck State's last community book discussion is scheduled for Sunday with Jack Kerouac's ``On the Road.''
The book discussion is open to the public and will be led by Brian Palecek, a humanities instructor at United Tribes Technical College. The theme for this year's series is ``Road Trip.''
Kerouac wrote the manuscript of the literary classic during a three-week bender of frenzied composition on a single role of paper that was more than 100 feet long. The novel chronicles Kerouac's years traveling in North America with a friend. It was first published in 1957 by Viking Press.
Kerouac died in 1969 at age 47.
The event at Bismarck State is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. at the school's library.
