If you are interested, you can read a segment of it here at O Americano, Outra Vez!...I have always found him extremely interesting and entertaining, probably because I am more reserved than him by nature, and I have always found him to be entertainingly unreserved.
I know he is a bit of a Lefty in some ways, but I think he is more of a Libertarian in many respects, and very conservative in others. He was quite a complex and entertaining man!
Looking at the excerpt from his book I linked to, the first line says "...One time I picked up a hitchhiker who told me how interesting South America was, and that I ought to go there. I complained that the language is different, but he said just go ahead and learn it - it's no big problem. So I thought, that's a good idea: I'll go to South America..."
When you read his book and learn more about him...that is the way he did things! Oh, South America? I guess I'll go...!
I personally am not interested in the Carnival type of thing, since it seems to be a homosexual thing, but I don't care what people do as long as I am not obligated to sign on to it or pay homage to it.
There you go.
My sentiments, exactly.
Yes. Excellent book. You know he’s dead? He went to learn Spanish but ended up learning Portuguese because the girl in front of him at the registration table was gorgeous and she was taking Portuguese.
