A Walk in the Woods
Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods” is a humorous essay about the author’s hike down (or up rather) the Appalachian trail. Bill Bryson is not a naturalist, an outdoorsman, or even remotely athletic. He’s an author who after living abroad for many years decides to rediscover American by hiking the “AT”.
Bryson shares not only his experiences but some trail history and lore as well. You meet interesting characters like Bryson’s friend Katz, who struggles to keep up, and a variety of trail mates that range from obnoxoius to memorable.
More importantly Bryson share’s his feelings about the land, America, and the deep chord traveling the trail strikes with him. While not a long book, I certainly enjoyed it.
