    <body><![CDATA[I am not a hiker nor am I someone who voluntarily chooses outdoor recreation.  Bill Bryson's book about hiking the Appalachian Trail almost persuades me that I'd like to be!  He doesn't sugarcoat the physical difficulties in undertaking such a hike. In fact he and his hiking companion actually only complete 870 miles of the trail due to the physical and mental hardship.  I especially enjoyed the history and background information about the AT and the places it crosses.  This is the second book I've read from this author.  I really enjoy his conversational style, and his talent for description.]]></body>
