Before I read this book, I had never heard of the flying boats. Want to read about a very different air travel experience and read a fun thriller at the same time? Check out this book! Fascinating!

Looking for a great airplane book? Well, as this one is about airplane accidents, it might not be all the great to read while you are on the plane, but it is fascinating none the less. It gives you a very interesting look at the airplane manufacturing industry and aircraft in general. Read it!

This book tells the bizarre and fascinating story of author Roald Dahl's young life. You can really see where he comes up with some of his book ideas, particularly some of the scenes in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. Great read!

Never Let Me Go: Kazuo Ishiguro

First to recommend

Description

This is a quiet, gracefully told horror story in which the horror is revealed so gradually and matter-of-factly that it becomes all the more dreadful. Very well written and truly food for thought.

Description

If you read no other Octavia Butler work, read this one. This is actually a three book series, republished under one cover. Absolutely brilliant--something you will want to read and re-read.

Description

Sex, violence--what's not to like? This is a steamy pageturner of a novel that will not disappoint! I loved it! I took it on a 12 hour flight to Asia, and it reading it really made the time fly!
