Bryson’s hilarious account of hiking the Appalachian Trail is a journey of self-discovery and natural wonder. With his trademark wit, he recounts the challenges and joys of trekking through the wilderness, from encounters with bears to quirky trail companions. As someone who’s dreamed of tackling the AT myself, I found his honest portrayal both inspiring and cautionary. Bryson’s keen observations and dry humor make this more than just a travelogue—it’s a meditation on America’s relationship with nature and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot.
