May Book: A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson

Arin's pick for this month is:

I have been bouncing a few books around, but for some reason I keep coming back to this one.  It isn't one I would normally choose, but I have heard only GREAT things about it, so let's give it a try and go for something new and different!  :)

Synopsis:
The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).


Happy Reading!!
