I'd also like to recommend "Road Fever" by Tim Cahill, about his
record-breaking journey from Tierra del Fuego to Prudhoe bay.  The entire
North American part of the journey takes place in 2 days in the last
chapter, and the rest of the book is about his 20 days through South
America.  Get it.  Read it.
