Of all Bryson’s books I think A Walk in the Woods is probably the only one that would translate to film, because of that narrative momentum you mention.

Have you listened to his books on audio? He reads some of them himself, and he’s exactly what you imagine when you read him.

Not that you asked, but his funniest book? Neither Here Nor There, from 1991.

Probably because it has narrative momentum (the story of him walking the Appalachian Trail with his oddball buddy) as opposed to being an anecdotal hodgepodge of observations.
