Recommend me a book to read on the plane

[smurfco]

I know there's a books thread, but I'm looking for something specific. Not too long, not too heavy, lots of twists and turns, something I can read on my flight home for the holidays. Let me know and I'll load it up on my Kindle. Go!

Have you read The Martian yet?

Most of what I read is crappy science fiction so I won't burden you with it.

I used to work with a former ntsb forensic investigator who would read aviation accident reports or crash related books on the plane.... Not recommended.

You might be hip enough that you haven't read The DaVinci Code. It's the Froot Loops of books, and perfect for a plane.

I'll second "The Martian"
Watership down.

Pick up something by Brad Meltzer.
"Conspiracy Theory" kind of stuff. Kind of immature, but a good, quick read.

The Communist Manifesto

Bill Brysons "Down Under" covers his travels in Australia. Will have you laughing your way home!

The Communist Manifesto

No Koran? I think that would go over well flying into Atlanta.

I want him to be looked at suspiciously, not detained indefinitely.

The cavity search would be a good story though.

The Bible......

I have read both The Martian and The DaVinci Code. The other suggestions intrigue me - will look into them. Thanks all!

I would actually not have a problem reading about airplane crashes while riding on an airplane, because I understand statistics and I'm not a massive pussy.

Catch-22, if you haven't read it already.
