On Easter Weekend, I am flying up north. I will be spending 3 hours in the airport prior to the flight, in the air for an hour, then back in the airport for another two hours. So, I would like something good and short to read.
I was an English major in college, so I've pretty much read all the classics. Recently, in the last five years, I've read a little of Stephen king and Clive Barker... especially the short stories. I've read a little Neil Gaemon and Chuck Palhuniuk (spelling?). And I would just appreciate some suggestions of something I can read in five hours... soooo, about 200 to 250 pages.

You need to get the lovely bones by alice sebold.


If you do, I don't think your going to want to get off that plane.

Not 250 pages maybe 100 more but I'm telling you, you'll love the book.

Try some Hunter Thompson, he's pretty quick and very entertaining.
