A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, a quick and easy read. Bill Bryson, is ambling around his New Hampshire home when he comes across an entrance to the great Appalachian Trail, the world’s longest hiking path.

The trail is long-it stretches over 2100 miles from GA to Maine. Naturally, Bryson instantly decides that he wants to hike the whole way. Unfortunately, the only hiking partner he can find, is Stephen Katz, from Iowa, an old friend and long lost recovering alcoholic. Bryson and Katz go way back; they took a trek across Europe together, when they were fresh out of college-and drove each other insane. Having no other choice, however, Bryson meets up with the woefully out-of-shape Katz and hops on a midnight plane to GA. So, Bryson and Katz hit the trail. Although Bryson enjoys the grueling hike, Karz is less enthused to sweat it out every day. After several bone-breaking weeks, they realize that they have barely scratched the surface of the great Appalachian Trail. It will be impossible to hike the entire way. Bryson writes in an easy, interesting manner and style and the ending is unexpected as well. Overall, “A Walk in the Woods” is an interesting book on an important topic.
