A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson 416 pages... I passed on this on when it got popular a decade ago... reading more serious outdoor adventure seemed appropriate. However, it is a really fun read. One Book Description reads: "The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide you’ll find." I totally disagree. Bryson does not even hike the entire trail. He compensates for this with self deprecating wit and factoids which he's really good at.///mwf
