Bill Bryson sets out to hike the Appalachian Trail, a journey he's perhaps less prepared for than he lets on. Joined by his old friend Stephen Katz, Bryson's trek is a hilarious account of mishaps, misadventures, and the unexpected challenges of the wilderness. It's a funny look at nature, history, and the people you meet along the way.
"William McGuire "Bill" Bryson is a best-selling Anglo-American author of humorous books on travel, as well as books on the English language and science." - Wikipedia
