Why read it?
1 author picked The Cactus Eaters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a simple, well-told story of a guy and his girlfriend who decide to hike a long-distance trail. It’s a familiar tale which happens every year. White tells it well, speckles it with humour, and gives a fun-filled insight into one of the greatest long-distance trails on earth.
From Keith's list on hiking, adventuring, and the outdoors.
