Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl StrayedMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
This was a book recommended to me by one of my husband's coworkers. I purchased it used from Kew & Willow.
I found this a hugely inspirational book. I've never really had an interest in backpacking, but this book really made me want to give it a try. The most I've ever done are day hikes with car camping, and even that very infrequently, and I have a lot of respect for those who achieve something like Cheryl did.
I really appreciate how frankly she writes about her flaws: her infidelity, drug use, and regrets. The passages about her failed marriage to Paul were especially heartrending. I can't imagine what it must be like to go down the path of divorce, especially with someone she still obviously cares deeply about.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing the movie version of this.
