Six books for the fearless frequent flyer
I have always enjoyed the magazine, "The Week," immensely -- especially the section in which writers pick five or six of their favorite books.
This week I had the opportunity to choose books for the magazine.
And, given my interest in aviation and the research I did for "The Night Strangers," perhaps it was inevitable that I would decide to recommend six books about. . .plane crashes.
Ghoulish? Probably.
Fun? I hope so.

Safe travels. . .and happy reading.

Interesting, although I don't fly much anymore, or maybe I should say at this time. I think that the book The Blasphemer sounds like an interesting read, that I will like to read, even though be it on the ground.

The Blasphemer sounds good. I would probably read Highest Duty. I'm planning to read The Night Strangers, but these will probably be the only plane crash books that I read... I read the preview of The Night Strangers, and it seems really intense. I hate to fly already, and will have to make sure I don't have any trips planned immediately after or during any of these reads. I couldn't even watch Lost when it first came on, because we were planning to go to Vegas the following week! LOL
Amy, I have been on 16 planes in the last two weeks. LOL Hang in there.

I read the preview ..."I have flown many times and once they even closed the airport RIGHT AFTER they let us take off, due to weather!! Yay, to New England weather!
I still get a small animal with claws curled up in my belly each time I take off, but its all cool and I would fly again without issue. By the way the (my) animal calms and pulls in its claws, with a little liquad fortification.
I hope you have since watched Lost. LOL
@Stephanie, I just hate it! I feel physically ill every time we go anywhere, starts a couple of days before so usually my vacation is spent not feeling well, too. LOL, it sucks! I did finally watch Lost, loved it! ;)
That is horrible, to have that anxiety days before and then having it ending up messing with the whole vacation time. :( That would not make me jump on the big trip vacations! More the "staycations" seem to be in line.
Yes, I loved Lost too.
Big fan of THE WEEK magazine, particularly the books section. Gave half a dozen gift subscriptions to friends and family last holiday season, and plan to repeat this year.
