A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

by Bill Bryson

** [2/5]

I expected to enjoy this book more. It was highly recommended by other hikers, but I found it rather tedious. Bryson tells the story of his own attempt to hike the Appalachian trial. While he has many adventures, and he does kindle a desire to hike the trail, his story is far from entertaining. The whole book reminded me of flipping through someone else's photo album. Sure there are a few funny stories, but not really the best use of a few hours.
