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.... |
Thanks for the referral. I'm heading to the library today and will look for Heinrich's works.
Yes, after reading Bryson's book my wanderlust-muse is sparked and now I want to read more and also daydream about hiking the AT.
