My oldest son, Roy, and I read this book during a recent 5 and 1/2 day 72-mile jaunt on the Appalachian Trail. It is both laugh-out-loud funny and incredibly insightful. The critical acclaim that this book received when it was first published is well-justified.

BTW, Roy is one of the coolest, most level-headed, and kindest people I have ever known. I am now certain that over the past 22 years he has taught me more than I have ever be able to teach him.
