AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller

4.0

David Miller hates his job in cube-land, so he does what most of us would never do - quits his job to hike the 2000+ miles on the Appalachian Trail. This book is his matter-of-fact description of his hike. He describes the breathtaking beauty of the trail, but also gives you a lot more. The minutia - the broken toenails, the struggle to stay dry, the challenge of finding a good shelter, the good and bad trail towns, and more. It's a really interesting book and really gives you an idea of what goes into a 5-month long hike. I enjoyed the way Miller described all the characters he met along the way.
