A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (1998)
Two out-of-shape, middle-aged men deciding to hike the entire 2,100 miles of the Appalachian Trail is pretty funny. But when one of the men is Bill Bryson, the results are downright hilarious. Bryson recruits an old high school buddy to join him as he makes his attempt. He should have known he was in for trouble when his friend showed up with a backpack full of Ding Dongs and little else. Bryson manages to toss in a good bit of history about the trail for good measure.
A Walk in the Woods can be found at the Chicopee Public Library in the Young Adult section (YA 917.4 Bryson).
