Just finished a great book, "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz, a true story of a trek to freedom, from a 1940's Siberian prison camp all the way through Mongolia and the Gobi desert, through Tibet, across the Himalaya's and finally into India. A book that is hard to put down... a great read.
And last night, I sat down and read "The Motorcycle Diaries" at one sitting, a rareity for me. Once you get past the preface and all the introductory crap and into heart of the story and the trip it was very interesting. Had my National Geographic atlas open and was following it right along with the book. It did perk my interest in wanting to tour South America, especially Peru and Chile but I know it won't happen.
