Give me some advice for a book to read on the plane! I want something that is easy to get into, keeps you interested, and something I won't want to put down after we land!
I couldn't put this on down and would totally re-read it... Not sure its what you are looking for though http://www.randomhouse.com/features/grisham/books/streetlawyer/
If I think of more I'll let ya know. I know you are looking for something funnY... I'll see what I can't think up. :o) When are you leaving? seeing family? Have a blast
Hard to make recommendations when I don't really know what you favor or what you've read. I'd recommend anything you see in the "recent reads" section of my blog...I've just started reading Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner. She's got the first chapter posted at her site: http://www.juliekenner.com. Looks like you favor more chick-lit type stuff -- if you haven't read Alesia Holliday's American Idle, I recommend that one. If you have read it, Nice Girls Finish First, the follow-up to Idle, just came out. Also in that vein, I loved Hit Reply by Rocki St. Claire.
Well keep in mind that I'm a business guy so the books I will recommend to you are related to that field. However, I think you might enjoy reading those books:
· On Target: How the World's Hottest Retailer Hit a Bullseye (by Laura Rowley): This book is really interesting and super easy to read. Should only take you a few hours so it's perfect for a plane ride.
* What I learned from Sam Walton: How to Compete and Thrive in a Wal-Mart World (by Michael Bergdhal): I have not read this one yet but it’s next on my list. I looks really cool. A good way to understand how Walmart became so big.
"The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. It is a remarkable book. And a great plane read, I am sure.
"Girl, Interrupted" was read by me years ago on a flight from Orange County to Seattle. I started the book on take off and finished the last page on touch down. The PERFECT plane read.

Does any of that help?
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby has always been my ultimate travel book.
Have a peek at #2 on this list I gave to Bekkah. I thought it was pretty funny and read very well.
The Baronet's Song by George MacDonald.
Changed my life!

Any of the Shopaholic Books or Can you Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella.
Agatha Christie mysteries usually work. not too heavy. Also Ellis Peters if you like mysteries with a more historical bent
Some great one have already been tossed out. Do you like suspense? Those usually keep me glued to them as I turn the page.
I really enjoyed Brick Lane by Monica Ali .... the woman next to me on a plane gave it to me as she had enjoyed it so much! Fantastic read!
blackops- will it try to put any doubt in my head? Cause I stear clear of that. :)
Melissa- yes..i've read 'em!!
Cube- ooh..that's what you mentioned. I'll have to try on! :)
Teresa- Yes..i like suspense..but not as much as a funny book.
le laquet- ooh... Brick Lane...I'll read up on it.
THANKS YOU GUYS!! Keep 'em comin'!

"Out" by Natsuo Kirino is a very nice book.
Or "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova: if you're in to a search for Dracula...
"Brick Lane" by Monica Ali...
I can go on for hours :)
"The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. It is a remarkable book. And a great plane read, I am sure.
"Girl, Interrupted" was read by me years ago on a flight from Orange County to Seattle. I started the book on take off and finished the last page on touch down. The PERFECT plane read.
Those are my two cents.
