Martha, your description of "A Walk in the Woods" almost hooked me when you said it was funny; however, I have walked part of the AT and I don't want to read about the geology.
Today at the beauty shop I read a review of the book by the author that was disgraced by Oprah. I liked one sentence of the review. "The man was obviously frightened by a comma in his early life."
About Dickey: He was for many years a professor at the University of South Carolina. He mostly wrote poetry. In cleaning out the house we just sold, I came across a personally autographed book of his poetry. I had given it to my mother years ago. It is quite a lovely coffee table book with low country paintings.
No I won't even offer to bring it by. I know. I know, your bookcase is full and this one would fill an entire shelf all by itself.
I read Deliverance when the movie came out. I remember raving about it to my employer at the time. The movie sold the book short.
