I'd be interested to hear what you think about the book you're reading.

I HAVE read that book! Few years back and I have given it to many others to read as well. Bryson is an excellent and descriptive writer.
His (unofficial) bibliography from that book led me to read several others in fact...
The other book I had been reading, On the Beaten Path, was very good. Stirred my fires some more where hiking the AT is concerned
If you like books such as these, you may like a book written by a much loved (by me) naturalist named Bernd Heinrich. The first (and favorite) book I read by him is called A Year in the Maine Woods. He does a Thoreauesque experiment of living MOSTLY in his cabin in Maine....
