Also recommend A Thousand Splendid Suns, but it only comes in hardback right now. Bel Canto by Ann Patchett is a good one.

I couldn't put it down on a plane ride once, and have read it a number of times since. Her next book, Leaving the Saints, is a pretty fascinating study of Mormons. You've probably already read Katie's copy of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, but that's another great one, if you ask me!

The Yiddish one is oh so tempting, but I think it's only in hardback. The Brits seem to have a paperback, but it wouldn't be cheap to import. Lucky Brits. But of course I’ve read Kevalier and Clay.

Jefferson or its a shorter book but His Excellency was a pretty good book on that guy from the one dollar bill. what about maybe some books from itunes as a way to relax on the plane ride. i kinda hate being all crumpled over a book on a plane. well its a pretty long flight so how about war and peace, or infinite jest? aunt cindy recommended me towards How Isreal Lost by richard ben cramer. perhaps some history- american sphinx, a bio on ol’ T.

It's gripping enough to distract you from a plane ride. He's got another one out already, but I'm not sure if the YPU has gone to paper or not yet. I checked your library thing account for Kevalier and Clay and thought "how can she not have read that?" and then checked your old database...of course you have.

Circus literature, eh? Hmm . . . well, I did like Geek Love. I also like reading in themes and Foreskin's Lament sounds like a good follow-up to the A.J. Jacobs I just read. But, looks like it's a hardback. Already did the Dark Materials. Circus literature, eh? Hmm . . . well, I did like Geek Love.

Unexpectedly worth all it's fancy awards. OR Foreskin's Lament by Shalom Auslander. Because it will help in your quest for Aunthood, and it's very very funny. Bel Canto by Ann Patchett.
