I didn't see this posted anywhere else and sadly I can't remember the author's name. However, this book is a hilarious addition to any camping enthusiast, be it canoe camping or backpacking.  It is about the author's attempt at the Appallation (sp) Trail and his inexperienced experiences.   I read the whole thing in one night it was making me laugh so hard.

For those who don't backpack, view it as a really long portage ;)
