The Motor Cycle Dairies

I have been reading The Motor Cycle dairies lately. I feel so close to che Guevara. Most of the guys are like this at heart they would like the concept of being wanderers all their life. Girls please excuse(you definitely don't have the heart to understand anything related to adventure, may be not all of you but most of you).
Che described all the events wonderfully. He definitely has the heart of a poet and courage of a revolutionary.
Right now, I am in love with the way he describes things in this book! I am feeling immense pleasure reading this book! This book was straight from the heart of an young man in love with nature, with women and most importantly with adventure.A paragraph from his book:
Easter Island!The imaginations stops in its ascending flight to turn somersaults at the very thought:"Over there having a white boy friend is an honour";"Work? Ha!the women do everything  - you just eat, sleep and keep them content." This marvelous place where the weather is perfect, the women are perfect, the food perfect, the work perfect(in it beatific non existence). What does it matter if we stay there a year; who cares about studying, work(I am damn sure men are good thinkers there!I wish I were born in this place!In my place getting IIT is the sole purpose of life and I wish this place was bombed in the second world war! women!never mind!), family etc. In a shop window a giant crayfish winks at us, and from his bed of lettuce his whole body tells us, "I'm from Easter Island, where the weather is perfect, the women are perfect.."
