Seeds of Dissent

The seed of the AT trip is Bill Bryson’s humorous travelogue A Walk in the Woods so I decided that in all fairness I should read a travelogue of the Camino de Santiago before making any firm decision about which to do. I checked out a local bookstore and quickly narrowed my search down to two choices – a humorous book written by a German guy and a Canadian book written by a guy who has hiked the Camino de Santiago 5 times.

In the end I chose the Canadian book (buy local!) because it was published more recently (2007). The book title is All the Good Pilgrims, it is written by Robert Ward – his first book. I’ll let you know how it reads. The reviews on the back cover are positive…
