Synopsis
A classic from the New York Times bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body . Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes -- and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods has become a modern classic of travel literature., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The classic chronicle of a "terribly misguided and terribly funny" ( The Washington Post ) hike of the Appalachian Trail, from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body "The best way of escaping into nature."-- The New York Times Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine.

    GREAT BOOK! The book is better than the movie and you can't do without seeing the movie! Good story but too much foul language.

    Be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime--and more laughs than you every thought you could have.

    Bill Bryson's hilarious way of telling a story makes one wonder if ALL of what he relays could even remotely be true. But this book supposedly tells the "true" story of him and hos friend's adventure on summer along thr Appalachian Trail that runs from just north of Atlanta, Georgia, all the way to the highest mountain in Maine. What happens along the way will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Get the companion film starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte, and you will have the novel come to life on your TV screen.

    Great book

    I had a copy of this book prior to purchasing this one. I gave it to someone to read and it was never returned. I enjoyed this book and wanted it as part of my book collection.
