Hooked On Books: A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
(Nonfiction)

Description: The Appalachian Trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

About Hooked on Books

Each month, ORK members read a book and then meet (virtually) to discuss it. With guided questions and occasional special guests, participants will find new titles, consider themes, and be inspired by writing.

To participate in the reading club, please register for Hooked on Books. You will receive an email with a link to the virtual meeting each month. Meetings are held Tuesday evenings, 6:30 p.m., via Zoom.

You do NOT have to join each month. Simply read the books and attend the sessions that are of interest, though we hope you will expand your reading horizons by trying new books.
