ENJOYING NATURE: 9 great books to get you though these crazy times
Winter is always a good time for reading. Actually, anytime is a good time for reading. It’s just that sitting in front of a fireplace on a cold winter day with a good book seems like the perfect place to be and thing to do.
I read 99% non-fiction, and I stumbled into some outstanding books that I know you will like. The reason I know you will like these books is because I passed them on to my wife, sister and friends, and they all loved them, too — so they come well recommended.
So here is a list of nine of the best books I read this summer, in no particular order.
Becoming Odyssa: Adventures on the Appalachian Trail by Jennifer Pharr Davis. I heard Jennifer speak at the Appalachian Trail Festival in Damascus, VA, a few years ago and bought this book from her there. My wife read it, but I never got around to it until this summer. It is an excellent account of Jennifer’s solo hike on the AT. This isn’t your typical AT book about what to wear, what to eat, etc. This is about one woman’s experiences — some funny, some sad, and some inspiring — as she hikes 2,190 miles alone. Everyone I passed this book on to (at least six) loved it. $8.78
