Genre
Whenever analyzing this book I start to realize that I bring my emotions into the equation. This is interesting because I tend to be very mental in my thinking and I pride myself heavily on being able to dissect a piece of work on its own without bringing in my own viewpoint. This book makes you connect to it on such an emotional basis that I enjoy the challenge of having to think am I imposing my personal opinions into my dissection. I have never found as challenging to with hold judgment.

I do the same. The characters seem so (I don't know how else to put it) human, our emotions get forced into the equation when everything we read is raw.
It's also hard not to impose your views when everything we read is easily criticized. We are creatures of hierarchy, we are naturally inclined to point out the weaker one. In the case of On the Road, it's easy look down upon Jack's actions.
