True story of how Bryson, after living in England forever, decides to reacquaint himself with America by hiking the Appalachian Trail. His backpacking experience before that: Zero. A hoot of a book that will have you laughing out loud every turn of the page. Has some good moralizing about the U.S. Forest Service and environmentalism, as well.
