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. 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).

    This is the first Bryson book I ever read and it is my favorite. I recommend this book to everyone. This led me into reading every Bryson book i could get my hands on.

    This is SCARY.

    I mean it. Bryson has been all over the world, but this hike on the Appalachian mountains is the scariest thing ever. WHY do people go out in the woods? How did he not DIE? Perfectly amusing, like everything Bryson writes, but bloody hell, I got tired just READING it.

  • My advice: read "Neither Here Nor There" before this. You'll then be able to appreciate the reunion of Katz and Bryson twenty years after their split-up in Europe.

    Switching between civilization comfort and grubbiness hike, Bryson and Katz went through one third of Appalachian Trail. I love the last part, Katz spoke out how he suffered from trying not indulged in drinking, got lost in the woods, and finally reunited with Bryson. Home might be too a comfort for us sometimes, let's go out to experience some flash air in woods.
