I must be in a travelogue-reading kick lately. I just finished reading "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson and plan on sending that along to someone who wil undoubtedly appreciate it as much as I did.
I've started another of his books called "The Lost Continent," which I got this Christmas through my department's secret santa thing (incidentally, from the same person who suggested Bill Bryson anyway. Nice how that worked.)
Haven't gotten that far into it, but I've enjoyed what I've read so far. It's lead me to one of resolutions for 2007, which is to take greater advantage of the outdoors and more thoroughly explore my surroundings...not only my immediate surroundings, either, but longer trips. Given the oddly mild weather we've had this "winter," I might even try to go on a little hike by the Delaware Water Gap, and maybe even catch up with the Appalachian Trail where it cuts through the park. Well, if not this weekend, I'll do it some time over the summer.
So, for whoever might be stuck in their present locales, I highly recommend Bill Bryson's work for a little bit of vicarious travel fun.
