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 entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

My first Bryson and still (probably ) the best!
- This was my first foray into Bill Bryson and I admit that I really had no desire to get into it. Travelogues always seem either dry or pretentious in showing off things that you'll NEVER do. This being said, I DO hike, have lived near the Appalachian trail and was basically in need of an audio book for a long car ride. WOW! What a truly delightful book this is! I really wasn't expecting, not just the sincerity but the humor in this audio book. It really felt like a guy like me, who is entirely unprepared to go on a 2000 mile hike, just up and one day decided to GO on that 2000 mile hike. This book had my wife REALLY wanting to do the Appalachian trail....as far as me...it made me REALLY want to get into more Bill Bryson. Well Done!
