Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
by Bill Bryson
Okay, I have to admit that a large part of the reason I read this was that it was available as a free ebook download at the library. But that's only the reason I started it--I finished it because it was just plain good.
And funny, lots and lots of times. It even reminded me of Pat MacManus a little bit.
But I won't lie and say it's completely funny all the way through. It's thoughtful at times. And thought-provoking. Not a lot of natural history, or any kind of history, if that's your thing. But that's not what I wanted at this point and time--I wanted a moving on sort of traveling tale, and that's what I got.
