Timeline was an ok book. Airframe, total ****. Prey, decent enough. Everything since is CRAP. Especially Next.Originally posted by Jon Miller

Any of the Hornblower series of books, by C.S. Forrester, make for excellent light reading."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

And follow it up with The Baroque CycleLast edited by Nugog; November 2, 2008, 08:25.I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment

Anyway, if you're a fan of Arthurian Legend, I've found Jack Whyte's renditions to be enjoyable.One who has a surplus of the unorthodox shall attain surpassing victories. - Sun Pin

Yes, it's a graphic novel, but why would that be hard to take on a plane? There's a paperback, standard sized version of it in pratically every bookstore in the country nowadays...

Since you seem interested in spirituality, I would recommend you "The Master of Tea" by Yasushi Inoue.
It's a story with a Zen slant narrating the relationship between a servant and his dead master, who was a grand master of tea preparation. It's short, easy to read, and highly enjoyable.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.Comment

Just read that. While I liked it, I didn't think it was as good as The Stupidest Little Angel.Originally posted by Guynemer
If you want something easy and enjoyable to read, pick up anything by Christopher Moore. "A Dirty Job" is my personal favorite.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

That book was right up my alley. I would love suggestions for similar works.
WWE was ok. I was a little disappointed by it, because it felt like a rehash of similar plot lines in the first book. The penchant for cartoonishly simplistic villains was also continued. But it's a good read, still.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
