Wild
What a great book. I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Bob actually picked it out for me and it was a best seller, so I knew it was good. I think he picked it out because the author's mother died and she decided to go on a journey (hiking for 1,000 or so miles) on the PCT - trail in the west.
Well, I could not put it down because it was so simple...there were so many messages in it. It has made me want to hike the AT (Appalachian Trail) for the last 100 miles (New Hampshire and Maine). I know two teachers who did it a few summers ago and they loved it for all the reasons that the author of Wild, Sheryl Strayed, talked about. It gives you time to think because that is all you have; it gives you a purpose; it gives you a connection with nature; it is a challenge and it is about overcoming whatever you want to overcome.
I am seriously considering what it would be like to do it next summer. We'll see.
