The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey

If you're into journey books and road trips this one's for you, which is something I discovered I don't care much about. Che is 23 in this book, and is not the revolutionary Che yet. This journey through the countries of South America definitely was a starting point for him, with all the CIA backed coups happening around him, the criminalization of Communism, the poverty, famine, racism towards Natives etc... but not as much social commentary in the book as I would've preferred.

However, included in the book is a speech given to young Cuban doctors in 1960, “A child of my environment”, that I would totally recommend reading, and which I loved enough to want to read Che's later on books.
