A walk in the woods chapter one

I like this books so far but it looks like it might get boring throughout. The authors humor makes the book more fun to read. Also, i would like to learn more about the appalachian trail and this book seems perfect. I have decided that before i die i want to backpack a portion of the Appalachian trail. I hope more exciting events happen in this book to get me more attached to "A Walk In The Woods".
