Summary: Best read of the year.
Review: This is the book that finally got me out the door. After I read it, I took off for Brazil. And lawdy do I love it there.Running the Amazon one of my favorite travel books because it is a great travel book. It understands that adventure is participating in the world not merely viewing niagra falls. It doesn't wax poetic about sights, but looks at travel as a way to meet people in intense situations, a way to look at life from different glasses, a way to reinvent who you are (and everyone should do that at least once every three or four years). As Oscar Wilde said "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
