There are certain books I think we stumble upon at specific points in our life for a reason and “A Walk in the Woods” was one of them for me. It’s not that deep, so I’m still trying to figure out exactly why I was so touched by Bryson’s tale. Written in 1999, I’m surprised by how aware Bryson is of climate charge and the ways the AT and National Parks contribute to it, as much as it does ‘protect’ the Earth from it - a very pleasant surprise! I finished it in the mountains in Ridgway, CO, which, I think, is how Bryson intended it to be finished.
