The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey
by Che Guevara
Che Guevara is such an icon that it’s interesting reading him in the first person, describing his road trip across Latin America with a friend as a student in the early 1950s. He’s quite funny. He wrote quite a few other, more serious books—about the Cuban Revolution and also fighting in Bolivia, where he was caught and executed. They’re all written in note form, so quite readable although a bit of extra reading may be needed for context.
