Have You Read It Yet???

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson is our latest read. I know, many of you are amazed that we've waited this long to read this book! Ryan even mentioned it in his interview with us that it was his all time favorite way back in 2004.

If you haven't read it - you must - even if you aren't a hiker. This book came to Sue & I secondhand through my mother-in-law, who is by far that last person on the face of this earth to hike! And she raved about A Walk.

Bill Bryson, with humor never too far away, details his account of his hike of the Appalachian Trail. The lush descriptions, history of the AT as well as many other side stories make this a great book for one and all. You will not be disappointed.

And if you are a letterboxer, it will strike a chord of truth a hundred times over. We even had fun noticing some of the letterboxing personalities that could have fit the different characters in the book. Also enjoyable was noticing how many times Sue & I had hiked the AT without even realizing it while looking for boxes - in VA, CT, MA, and VT.

With summer vacations just around the corner, you may just want to pick up a copy (also available in an oversized paperback edition.) It's a perfect vacation read. Hope you enjoy it!
