Although it's not paddling related, "A Walk In The Woods" by Bill Bryson is a highly entertaining read. It chronicles a thru-hike on the Appalachian trail. A couple that I *want* to read are Audrey Sutherlands two books; "Paddling Hawaii" and "Paddle My Own Canoe". *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Nov 12 1999 - 03:41:08 PST
