The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America-majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way-and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
BOOK CLUB MEETING: November, 28 2023 @ 2 pm SLT
LOCATION: To be announced in SL group and TNC Discord
I love books, my favorite way to read. I have read books by Bryson, great writer and laughed as I read “Walk in the Woods.”
He definitely had a unique style of writing. I really enjoyed the “facts” he peppered throughout about the National Park System, the place of modernization and industry in regards to nature, etc.
We hope to see you at a future book club!
Days escaped me and didn’t realize that I missed book club today!! When is the next one? I’ve been enjoying this book!
Hi Sarah, we don’t have the date yet but it should be some time next month, either later in the month or beginning of January. If you’re in the Discord server and SL group, we will send notices soon with the poll to vote for our next book. So sorry you couldn’t make it today. We look forward to seeing you next time!
