"Choke-on-your-coffee funny." --"The Washington Post Book World" "Bryson is . . . great company right from the start--a lumbering, droll, neatnik intellectual who comes off as equal parts Garrison Keillor, Michael Kinsley, and . . . Dave Barry." --"The New York Times Book Review" "A Walk in the Woods is an almost perfect travel book." --"The Boston Globe" "From the Trade Paperback edition.", " Bryson is a very funny writer who could wring humor from a clammy sleeping bag." - "The Philadelphia Inquirer" " Short of doing it yourself, the best way of escaping into nature is to read a book like "A Walk in the Woods."" - "The New York Times" " A terribly misguided, and terribly funny tale of adventure....

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 entertaining 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)., 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.

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)., With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humor, Bryson recounts his confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over his five-month journey along the Appalachian Trail in this "New York Times" bestseller, available in mass market for the first time.
