i finished reading a walk in the woods by bill bryson the other day and it was SUCH a good book. half the time you are laughing out loud from the shit that bryson and katz get into and the other amount of the times you are learning about the appalachian trail and feeling a desire to go hike it yourself grow inside of you. i highly recommend it.
i also finished reading stiffed: the betrayal of the american man last week. it's a very interesting read, possibly one of the more "heavy" books i've read in a while. it gives some real insight into the world of our fathers and their father's and leaves me wondering if when i'm 30 i'll feel the same betrayal and longing as the men in this book. +5 on this one.
