January's book is "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. Meet at the Visitor Center Back in America after twenty years in Britain\, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2\,100-mile Appalachian Trail\, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson\, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz\, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail\, and as he tells its fascinating history\, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure\, a comedy\, and a celebration\, A Walk in the Woods is a modern classic of travel literature.
