It's a great book, and a little over a 100 pages, so that's the one you want when heading for Moscow! If you finish it early you may as well start deciding wether or not you actually agree or don't... What about Paulo Coelho’s ‘the alchemist’?

As soon as I sat down I started reading. Got to cruising altitude just as the book got to the part where the characters own flight gets hijacked! Kind of put me off reading any further .. :) I made the mistake once of just grabbing and paying for a book quickly from the airport book store based on the exciting cover.

David Mitchell - is that the same guy from Mitchell and Webb? How about some Michael Crichton?!? Yes, I’ve heard the Kite Runner is good.

I also sometimes bring 'The acid house' by Irvine Welsh, a number of (very) dark stories which will defiantly remove you from your aviation reality.

For me there's something about flying that turns my brain to mush so it has to be an easy book. 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini is quick and fluent to read. Also anything by David Mitchell. They are perfect if you want an easy read without descending into trash. I like to think I’m a fast reader, but Heart of Darkness took me a lot longer than 2 hours!

I'd go for Great Expectations on a flight to New York. Love the idea of Pamela - might get that for Christmas! No Harry Potter? I’d go for Great Expectations on a flight to New York.
