A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson

adventurous informative slow-paced

1.5

This book has not aged well. Most people think of Bill Bryson as an affable nature lover. Reading this book in 2023, he comes across as an unnecessarily mean, misogynist (naming a server Betty Slutz), fat-phobic, jerk. Additionally, while he clearly cares about nature, it was not made evident if his commentary was based on science.
