At the end of that little chapter, I muttered under my breath: I don’t want to walk in the woods as much now.Īt least Bryson had a companion in the form of his huffing and puffing and complaining companion, Stephen Katz. Plus, reading this account of Bill Bryson’s research before he took the Appalachian Trail freaked me out a little. But then again, I am really, really scared of animals and I’m really not sure how I’ll fare in there. And someday, I hope I will be able to go take a walk in the woods. I love traveling but I’m mostly limited due to circumstances. At one point I was asking myself how I could be so stupid as to not have read his books before. I found this book hilarious in the way he pokes fun at everything in the world, including himself. Books like these might be a tad tedious to read, but Bill Bryson knows how to mix facts with humor and make a book appealing. A Walk in the Woods is the author’s account of hiking the Appalachian Trail.
