When I put on my backpack in Pamplona on my first day walking the Camino de Santiago, I worried that it was too heavy for me to carry across Spain. I worried about undressing in front of strangers in coed dorms and bathrooms. I worried about trying to keep up with much younger trekkers. It turned out I had no idea I was carrying things far heavier.

What were your favorite books last year?
These are two I enjoyed:
Nonfiction: Way Out There, by J. Robert Harris…backpacking adventures, mostly solo, that boggled my mind.
Fiction: Ready Player One, by Ernest Kline…scifi at its best.
I want to add a special mention of a book that resonated with me: Fighting the Inside Dragons, by Bogdan Ignat.
Let me know your favorites; I am always shopping for my bookshelf.
Thank you,
Reg
