by Bill Bryson.The author writes humorous, and thoughtful, descriptions of the Appalachian Trail, the people he meets while hiking, and his interactions with a friend who joins him on the trail. He adds commentary on the National Park System and the history of the trail and he does it in an insightful, easy to read style.
I enjoyed the book so much, I've added it to my personal library, and I've put his other books on my reading list.

Hi, came across your blog from David McMahons Weekly Top Ten thing he's doing now. Congrats on the high rank!
I remember skimming through this one day when it came out, because I live near the Appalachian. I have to agree with your assessments wholeheartedly, and that was only from a skim.
Drop by my place sometime.

Hi Bart, thank you for stopping by. If you get a chance, read the book, it's a great story. We lived in Maryland for a year. It's a beautiful state, and we miss it, especially the ocean and mountains.
