Reviews"Choke-on-your-coffee funny." --"The Washington Post Book World" "Bryson is . . . great company right from the start--a lumbering, droll, neatnik intellectual who comes off as equal parts Garrison Keillor, Michael Kinsley, and . . .

SynopsisThe 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)., 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.

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)., With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humor, Bryson recounts his confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over his five-month journey along the Appalachian Trail in this "New York Times" bestseller, available in mass market for the first time.

True story of hiking the Appalachian Trail
I am reading this book on my Axis library app, it is so good, I wanted my husband to also read. He only reads regular books, I found this on eBay at a fantastic price, now we are both reading it at the same time; I like that. The story is non-fiction, author is funny and also gives a lot of great historical tidbits. I definitely would like to read this authors other books and will look into that.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Funnier Than The Movie
