The novel ended up being the American classic On The Road. Published in 1957, it was written in 1951, typed out on a continuous reel of paper over a three-week span in April 1951.

Interestingly, former Jeopardy champion Tom Nissley talks about this on the August 23 entry of his book “A Reader’s Book of Days”.

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section below.
