NATIONAL BESTSELLER - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The classic chronicle of a "terribly misguided and terribly funny" (The Washington Post) hike of the Appalachian Trail, from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body "The best way of escaping into nature." --The New York Times
God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to hike the grueling 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail. Perhaps it was just a long-held ambition to lose weight and get fit. Perhaps it was a brief bout of masochistic insanity. Whatever his motives, the tale of his travels through fourteen states on the longest continuous footpath in the world is a hilarious romp full of rednecks, moonshine, shotguns and bears. "A Walk in the Woods is just the thing to take on vacation. Bryson does all the work . . . while the reader only has to worry about falling out of bed, hammock or deck chair laughing." --The Gazette (Montreal) "Bryson is a terrific stylist. You can't help but enjoy his writing, for its cheer and buoyancy, and for the frequent demonstration of his peculiar, engaging turn of mind." --Ottawa Citizen NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
