Book Review: All 48 in 2015

GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL! All 48 in 2015 By Michael Quigley This is a terrible self-published guide to summiting New Hampshire's 48 peaks over 4,000-feet. What it mostly is, to me, a lesson in how Amazon carts work. You see, I saw this on there and put it on one of the lists my wife had set up... there's the "Steve … [Read more...]

Book Review: Walking North

Talking Forth Walking North By Mic Lowther This is a weird book. I really enjoyed it, but most people probably wouldn't. (And I'm already excluding anyone reading this who doesn't read hiking narratives.) This is the blow by blow account of a family thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. When? No one really knows. … [Read more...]

Book Review: Chasing Summits

For Peakbaggers Only Chasing Summits By Garry Harrington I read books for different reasons. I read some not for pure enjoyment, but for inspiration to write my own.

Book Review: I Hike

I Like I Hike By Lawton Grinter Despite the paucity of hiking books currently discussed on this little website of mine, I’ve read a LOT of hiking books. I daresay I’ve read almost every thru-hiking book in existence. When you’re in your 40’s and have little kids and the thru-hiking dream is deferred for at least … [Read more...]

Book Review: Grandma Gatewood’s Walk

Grandma's Got Sack Grandma Gatewood's Walk By Ben Montgomery Every Appalachian Trail thru-hiker knows of Emma “Grandma” Gatewood. Most "know" some truth about her and some fiction. This is ridiculous, because there is no need to fictionalize anything about the woman. She's a legitimate legend, and this book sets … [Read more...]

Hiking Book Reviews

Because, Why Not? No, this page is not necessary. And I have no idea how much I'll even pay attention to it. But I've come to learn a few things over the years of writing CTMQ. One, hikers are loyal to my hike reports. Far more so than any other subset of CTMQ readers. I chalk it up to hikers' love of maps and lists … [Read more...]
