Gah really great! I love Dear Sugar, so I was excited to read something by her alter ego. I was even more excited that it was about long distance backpacking. I just love reading about stuff like that, eg [b:A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail 9791 A Walk in the Woods Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail Bill Bryson http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320519729s/9791.jpg 613469]. It always makes me want to pack up and head for the woods, even if the longest backpacking trip I've ever taken was ~30 miles and it basically killed me. ONE DAY.Anyway Cheryl Strayed aka Sugar is, duh, a fantastic writer and the backpacking trip she took after her mother died and after she got divorced is great material for her. A lot of beauty & a lot of sadness. A lot of complicated emotions perfectly captured.
