In terms of surviving long flights and delays there is no better technology. Four of these are paperbacks, which is good enough:Jonathan Miles, DEAR AMERICAN AIRLINES (already started, haven't had time to finish even though it is really short and debatably a waste of space)I know, still too many, but I have two long travel days and this should help. (I'll be in the land of sketchy WiFi, although this blog will continue to magically write itself until I can find a signal.) If you're going somewhere for the holiday, what are you taking with you?
Malcolm Gladwell, WHAT THE DOG SAW
James Dickey, TO THE WHITE SEA (Wrapped Up in Books)

"Then we came to the end"(Bookclub 1)
"Death in the Andes" by Vargas-Llosa (Bookclub 2)
Mary McCarthy's "The Group" (not assigned reading)
So if I finally read "The Road" this weekend in anticipation of the movie coming out, am I going to be depressed this entire holiday weekend?
I am reading Walter Kirn's "Lost in the Meritocracy," Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up," and Bill Simmons' "The Book of Basketball."
8YOD - Then We Came To the End is one of my favorite novels of the past few years. I've recommended it to a bunch of people, and to my entire family. It would make a great choice for a book club.
AP - Possibly the only novels I've read that are as depressing as The Road are The Remains of the Day and The Things They Carried. Its difficult, but you'll be happy you read it.
