A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

The book we’ll be studying in the Summer 2021 session is A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. So what could possibly happen when sixty-year-old Bryson decides to hike the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail? The only person Bryson could convince to join him is Katz, a friend with whom he trekked across Europe after graduating from college. That adventure didn’t end well. Would this one be better?

Purchase a copy of A Walk in the Woods from your local bookstore or online at Amazon. You can also check it out from the library, but you may want your own copy to mark up as the spirit moves. Print or online versions are fine.

Then, print out a copy of the reading schedule and follow along. It’s fine if you read ahead, but the weekly discussions and masterclasses will follow this schedule.

As the session unfolds, you can find weekly videos in Close Reading. Get ready for a hike of a lifetime.
