On The Road By Jack Kerouac

I start with On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Took a week for the first 5 chapters. It really took me a while to get excited to read it. But once I did, only 2 days to finish the rest of it. Now I really want to get out on the road even more! The setting is the late 1940’s. On the Road, first published in 1957, epitomized to the world what became known as “the Beat generation” and made Kerouac one of the most controversial.

“I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn't know who I was - I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I'd never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs, and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn't know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds. I wasn't scared; I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost.”―Jack Kerouac.

This changes the strategies, since this way the hungry PC becomes almost useless, making a food reserve a necessity. The food meter becomes relevant only when it becomes red and you begin to starve.You won't restore HP or energy when resting, until you find some food to fill your food bar.Healing is only a temporary solution, but it helps you gain time.Other than that, no penalties.EDIT: I don't know if this has been changed recently, but in the current version a starving character has his Attack Power halved(rounded up).
