My first book by him was The Mother Tongue, then Made in America, Down Under, The Lost Continent and lastly, A Walk in the Woods. LOVE THAT GUY! I actually asked if Patrone had read it before going and he said yes, but for some reason, I don't believe him. You out there Patrone, fess up! Bryson is one of my favorite authors.

May 11? I'm no AT hiker (because there is no such thing as a happy thru hiker. Just wait till they hit Pennsylvania), but people generally need about 6 months to do it. They won't be in New England until October, when it will be really cold. And if they don't hit New Hampshire until November, i think bad weather will end their hike. Too bad they didn't go north to south. Anyone interested in getting the smallest taste of what these guys are trying might want to read Bill Bryson's <i>A Walk in the Wood</i>. Bryson is a really funny writer, so the book is an easy read. In his 40s (1996), he decided to do the AT, but he only ended up section hiking it. The first section is all about Georgia and North Carolina, which is where Patrone is now. Wow, they started really late. May 11? I’m no AT hiker (because there is no such thing as a happy thru hiker.
