Off to a wedding in Michigan, and this time I didn't even try to pack light (formalwear!). I'm bringing 5 books again, because I have even more time to kill in transit. Hey, did you know Detroit Metro Airport has a Jose Cuervo Tequileria? Who wants to do shots and talk about Ellroy?
Yes, I'm bringing LA CONFIDENTIAL and hoping that this will be the trip when I finish it, drinks or no drinks. (No drinks, likely; my attention span is short enough.) Along with the regular review cohort I've also got Mark Helprin's DIGITAL BARBARISM, which I'm sure also goes great with lime and a little salt. (Oops, forgot to run that through the Blurbinator! What I mean is: "Piquant and bitter... leaves an unforgettable taste." I haven't read the book yet.)
Suitable for packing, drinking, fretting, pining, memorializing or whatever else you are doing this fine Friday:

ETA: after this post was written but before it was published, the author discovered that she had left her cell phone in New York. On the bright side, Books 5, Phone 0 would make a great epitaph.
