A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
God only knows what possessed journalist and author Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake a grueling hike along the world's longest continuous footpath stretching from Georgia to Maine and featuring some of the most breathtakingly majestic mountains, dense forests, and sparkling lakes: The Appalachian Trail.
With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humour, A Walk in the Woods recounts Bryson's confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over the course of his five-month-long journey.
“The best way of escaping into nature.” -- The New York Times
