[pct-l] Literary journals

[Jeffrey Olson]

Part of what sustains me on some saturday or sunday mornings during the 
winter is reading hiker journals.  However, I seem to be finding mostly 
travelogues, who was where when kinds of writing.  I'm looking for 
literary gems that not only offer descriptions of the trail, but the 
internal workings of the thru-hiker.  Chris Willett's journals are an 
example, and some of Mag's stuff.  Cindy Ross' books are long journals.  
My major critique of Adam's movie about his trip on the CDT, a movie I 
really enjoyed, is that there was only one segment in which some drama 
came through.  What I liked about "The Walk" was Yogi's minute at the 
end of the movie. 

I welcome suggestions of journals to read that explore the human 
condition as part of the thru-hiking experience. 

Jeff, just Jeff...
