Thank you Pooja! I'll keep it in mind! I looked it up, it's a mystery, so it can probably keep me occupied and entertained.

An Instance of the Fingerpost

یه چیز کشکول‌مانندی، که تنوع داشته باشه، و بیشتر از خوندن فکر کردن بطلبه. کتاب نشان نخست بلاهت رو من خیلی دوسش داشتم. مجموعه‌ی گفته‌های طنزآمیزه. کتاب اتوپرتره هم گمونم به کارت بیاد. خودم البته فقط ورقش زدم، نخوندم هنوز. زندگی‌نامه است منتها خیلی کلاژمانند و پراکنده

زندگی داستانی ای جی فیکری
پروژه ی رزی
hitchhiker's guide to galaxy

Thank you, Violeta! Looks interesting. I don't normally read mysteries or thrillers, but in this case, it might just be what I need. I'll keep it in mind.

وای اتفاقا من داشتم فکر می‌کردم چیزی که فکر نطلبه بهتره، رمان طولانی ولی ساده و هیجان دار مثلا. حوصله ندارم فکر کنم اصلا. و اگه شروع کنم فکر کردن، فکرم می‌ره به سمت هزاران چیز بی‌ربط. مرسی بابت پیشنهادها. نگاهشون می‌کنم حتما.

Looks good, but it's only 91 pages, what would I do the rest of the trip :(
(the answer is cynical, depressive overthinking but I'm trying to avoid that particular scenario)

I'm honestly useless when it comes to recommending books that are meant to help with something, but how about an audiobook? Like a good story or something. They help me with these reading slumps.

Oh I definitely intend to go with the audiobook version of whatever I decide to "read". Just don't know what. I lose interest pretty quickly when I'm anxious and bored, so need something to keep me engaged.

مردم مشوش از بکمن چیز جذاب و سرگرم کننده ای بود. به چشم سرگرمی که عالی بود. هرچند واسه من بیشتر از صرف سرگرمی داشت

Bassani's cycle on Ferrara The Novel of Ferrara (six slender books), Jon Kalman Stefansson's trilogy Heaven and Hell, The Sorrow of Angels, The Heart of Man; a classic like Jan Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa..

Maybe you need something that wakes your curiosity 🤔 and a nice classic crime novel from Aghata Christie or something like that will work for you

Wow! Ilse, these all seem intriguing and will keep me occupied for much longer than three flights. Thank you so much!

YES! That's exactly what I thought as well. I don't usually read mysteries or crime novels but I feel like some good old Sherlock Holmes might just be what I need on this trip. Thank you! 😊

Yesss. Children's hearwarmingbreaking books for life. Thanks a lot! 😍

I suggest Stalin's Daughter. 😁

Just started reading Frenchman's Creek by Daphne Du Maurier and it feels like the kind of book that would be wonderful to read on such a long flight :)

بنظرم یه فانتزی شروع کن، که هم روون باشه، هم هیجان انگیز هم طولانی. و بهت خوش بگذره و به چیزای دیگه فکر نکنی

This is irrelevant but for the love of god watch out for your phone I lost mine for 5 minutes in istanbul airport and I have never been more scared in my life.

What I would recommend most for the situation you've described is Olga Tokarzcuk's Flights. The name may make you want to roll your eyes, but I feel like it's a doubly interesting book to read on a plane, the sections are shorter so you can pause and reflect or read slowly, would be a delight to listen to, and you'll probably enjoy it more given your background in biology.

Whatever you choose, I hope you emerge from your slump soon :)

Oh I wish I'd seen your suggestion sooner (I saw it on the flight, almost half way done!). Actually, this type of book is the opposite of eye-roll inducing for me. I'm done with the flight, but I'll add "flights" to my reading list for sure.
And thank you, I hope I'll emerge from the slump soon, too. I ended up not reading a word on the flight though!

That's actually good advice. I didn't lose it. And I did your recommended people watching quest which was the most fun I've had in an airport ever!

I'm glad! More details please, at some point!
