I received a Barnes & Noble gift card. I do not need a 'How-to' guide, but any suggested titles for a collection of stories on Travels along the AT.
Thanks..... I've read Mr. Brysons book already!

So many good ones...... " Becoming Odyssa" by Jennifer Pharr Davis comes to mind.
You can read the Amazon reviews here:

"Fish Camp Woman.... Baby, I like the way you smell"
- Unknown Hinson
Just passin' thru
Becoming Odeyssa
i likedJust Passin' Thru and A walk in the woods. the rest seem to be journals and not what i like. when hiking i like short stories. like the one's by Ray Bradbury.
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
You can always watch the film "Southbounders" for free while you make your decision!

Some like it, some rave about it, others thought it was sorta cheesy......

Actors....... Just like Bill Bryson.

I like that movie, yes it's a little cheesy, but cute.Coach there is a book I just ordered, not about the AT, but it may intrigue, the history of the compass, I'm trying to get into my account at B & N, but haven't been able to, hmm.So not sure of the exact title, but will keeping trying, they actually had a couple titles on the history of the compass, and they all looked interesting. Also check out "AS far as the eye can see" by David Brill, I've perused it and it looks good, haven't really started it in earnest yet.
Got it "The riddle of the compass"
Also "Fifty shades of grey" seems to be getting a lot of attention, though not sure why, hehehe

There are plenty more.

"A Season on the Appalachian Trail" my favorite I have read many
If you can’t fix it with duct tape or a beer; it ain’t worth fixing
not Amazon, but I have a number of Appalachian Trail books for sale on Ebay this week. Search for seller jail1 and you'll see what I have. Some classics back to the 70s, and some new ones too.
A walk for Sunshine was good also.
I enjoyed "Southbound" by the Barefoot Sisters. Their sequel book "Walking Home" wasn't as good a read.
AWOL on the Appalachian was a great read.
just passin through. ill get it back from my daughter if you want it.use the BN card for via, i understand they stock it.
+1 on "The Barefoot Sisters - Southbound"
I've read a lot...just passin' thru and Becoming Odyssa were by far my favorites. I couldn't put Becoming Odyssa down. I read it in 3 or 4 days and I am NOT a reader.
