Hey all,
I have a couple of ultra-long flights coming up, and I don't want to have to rely on the in-flight entertainment options.. I like reading on flights. I like reading fun, easy and engaging novels.
I do have various books in my "half finished" or "to read" piles, but by virtue of their presence in that stack, they can't meet my criteria.

Have you read any books recently that you liked, and think I'd like to read in those circumstances?

Thanks!

Edit: Possibilities, have you read these? What did you think?
* House of Suns - Alistair Reynolds
* The City & The City - China MiƩville
* Pygmy - Chuck Palahniuk

Another possibility is that I might just go back and re-read something, maybe Look to Windward by Iain Banks. Although I suspect I have it in hardback :/

Continuing in the abbreviated format..

Good:
Boom festival. So good! Fantastic even! Best festival ever!

Bad - all travel related:
* Outbound flight (TAP Portugal) delayed for more than seven hours.
* Portugese car hire place (Europcar) gave our car to someone else, because we were late. Even though we had paid in advance, and they knew we were gonna be late.
* Running late for the return flight, I somehow managed to end up with my film packed in my checked luggage, and my multi-tool packed in my carry-on luggage. The latter was confiscated at security, but the film bothers me the most. It has almost certainly been ruined, and there won't be any way I can get back all those photos :(
* And of course, this morning I woke up to find this had happened at airports around the UK.

I knew we should have driven..
