I just finished The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, and I just about found my new favorite author. It really relates to me, and reminds me of my adventures in the woods as a kid.

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, a biography about Bill trying to walk the Appalachian Trail with a giant man he doesn't get along with very well. Hilarity ensues.

I only picked it up because I'd never read any of his novels before and people kept recommending them, and it was awesome. Plus I learned a lot about the the Trail and other Trail-related American history. Are all his other books like this? Because if so I need to go hunt down some more.

Bill Bryson was introduced to me when i was 12 or so, and he's really a funny guy, his book A Short History of Nearly Everything is really great/funny and you learn alot too!

I just finnished On The Road by Kerouac like half an hour ago, and it was really amazing, i felt Dean Mortiarty's beat, of that generation, and I can definetly see how it's called The Bible of the Beat Generation. I'm really enjoying Kerouac, next my best friends gunna let me borrow his copy of Naked Lunch. :3:
