A hockey player since childhood, Lemieux signed on with the NHLUs Pittsburgh Penguins at the age of 16. Then, at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, he captained the Canadian hockey team, leading them in their gold medal-winning victory.
`What`s your road, man - holyboy road, madman road, rainbow road, guppy road, any road? It`s an anywhere road for anybody anyhow`. Sal Paradise, young and innocent, joins the slightly crazed Dean Moriarty on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the American Dream. A brilliant blend of fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac`s exhilarating novel defined the new `Beat` generation and became the bible of the counter culture.

A priest`s death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country pub...To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning? Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman`s head? Or was it when the priest`s assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman`s cassock? Or could it have been the priest`s visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed? Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier? Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish they`d never found it!
