I love to read, I read every chance I get, my mom was a librarian so it's real bad for me..it's in my blood..
Anyway, I tend to read a lot of outdoor and travel books, things that relate to my life right now.
One of my fav authors is bill Bryson, i'm sure you all know him for A Walk In The Woods, where the overweight clumsy guy and his odd pal attempt to hike the AT...tons of mishaps and some humor...I think it's a great book.
So getting to my point, I was hiking the other day when I got into this conversation of the AT with a few guys who have thru hiked it twice. They took it very seriously, as if they were special and i should treat them as such...anyway, i metioned the only knowledge i have of the AT I learned fromn brysons book. Well, that didn't make them happy at all...they went on for ever putting him down and telling me that because of that guy, the AT is overcrowded with fools like him trying to hike on it. Well, here's what I think, those two are idiots, I get inspired from that book, it's humurous and makes me want live and do fun things...and i highly doubt the At is going to be extremely over run with people anytime soon...
