Short of doing it yourself, the best way of escaping into nature is to read a book like A Walk in the Woods. New York TimesIn the company of his friend Stephen Katz (last seen in the bestselling Neither Here nor There), Bill Bryson set off to hike the Appalachian Trail, the longest continuous footpath in the world. Ahead lay almost 2,200 miles of remote mountain wilderness filled with bears, moose, bobcats, rattlesnakes, poisonous plants, diseasebearing tics, the occasional chuckling murderer and perhaps most alarming of all people whose favourite pastime is discussing the relative merits of the externalframe backpack. Facing savage weather, merciless insects, unreliable maps and a fickle companion whose profoundest wish was to go to a motel and watch The XFiles, Bryson gamely struggled through the wilderness to achieve a lifetimes ambition not to die outdoors.A Walk in the Woods is now a major feature film starring Robert Redford, Emma Thompson and Nick Offerman.
