That was slient gen. The boomer archetypes are >idiot hippie (the universe is love--let's drop acid and gangfrick this 14 year old) >corporate sellout midwit (theyre moving the jobs to China--buy more stock!) >working class moron (why can't you just buy a house/raise family on 15K a year like I did?)
I doubt most boomers wanted to be shitty gay israelite poets that were obsessed with jock chad dick. I think most boomers wanted to be rockstars that did all the drugs and fricked underage pussy like the rock idols normies actually admired.

I don't know, man, the entire Hippie Movement was just Beatnik Wannabe shit without actually understanding anything about it.

There wasn't anything to understand. The Beatniks were losers.

Sorry you're brainwashed by israeli propaganda and forgot that America used to be a great nation full of unapologetic, intellectual American men who wanted to explore and document the culture and didn't want to be chained to a shitty job or constantly apologise for being American. The shackles of white guilt have brandished you.

There was no substance to the beatnik movement which is why the hippies took it to its logical conclusion and just focused on jamming drugging fricking and misguided anti class conscious activism.

I think most wanted to be more like Kerouac than Ginsberg.
I only ever saw Patterson, King, Grisham Brown, random mystery novels, Conservative politician biographies/memoirs, and cookbooks and travel guides at my grandparent's house and they were both born around 1940. I think most of what they had was just accumulated gifts.
i liked her nonfiction but when i started the fountainhead and read the first chapter i was blown away by how shit it was and how boomer it felt
i second this
Lonesome Dove
lowkey good answer. If you live in the Southwest a lot of old white boomers won't stfu about this, gone with the wind, and Louis L'Amour.
I feel the Beatniks are basically how the Boomers saw themselves and tried to be, even if they failed miserably at emulating them.

I'm not saying Boomers are Beatniks; I'm saying they wanted to be Beatniks. And failed, hence why these archetypes came out of it.

Every boomer I know hates Burroughs, Ginsberg, etc. They identify more with post-beats, such as Kesey and Thompson more than anything.
Rabbit Run and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Crichton Patterson King Clancy Grisham L'Amour Lecarre etc.
Steve Allen
My grandpa reads the KJV literally every day.
Clive Cussler

if your grandparents are boomers then gtfo this site zoomzoom
I'm 20. They were both born in 1940, so not technically boomers.
The parents of zoomers are, for the most part, Gen Xers and Millenials. Are you moronic?
Is there a Stephen King book that's actually worth reading? Have never read anything by him
Salems Lot is decent. His early short storys and the Bachmann books also hold up.
Misery
The Stand, Misery, and 11/22/63
11/22/63 made me cry. I was also 15 when I read it.
>Tom Clancy
>James Patterson
>Dan Brown
>Tom Clancy
Hunt for Red October is great
Still a spy novel for boomers written by a man who made a career off of them.
Ayn Rand

Martin Amis, RIP.
Dean Koontz and Danielle Steel.
House of leaves, Navidson is the ideal boomer.
Boomer men never read. They just watched television.
