A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

Bill Bryson never disappoints...

 

This book recounts Bryson's attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail, along with his hapless buddy Katz. The getting-ready- to -hike chapters alone are worth the price of admission.

 

Hilarious in parts, and Bryson also manages to give a painless lesson on the history of the Trail.
