I just completed my 2nd "hiking" book, although many purists will balk at calling "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson a hiking book. Just yesterday, I completed "AWOL on the Appalachian Trail" by David Miller and it has successfully hooked me into more backcountry reading. I just order a few more books from Amazon about thru hikes on the CDT and PCT...being a slave in cubicle hell might preclude me from hiking all 3, but at least I can experience them on a smaller scale by reading about them!

Cheers and thanks for the post...
