In reading the Amazon reviews, I find that I absolutely must read this book because the readership is so divided. Since I went to college in the 70s (and early 80s... I went on the 8-year plan) I'm intrigued. I look forward to seeing which camp I end up in! Debi, hi there!

One of my favorite works of nonfiction (since I know where your bread is buttered) is a book called Miriam's Kitchen by Elizabeth Ehrlich. It's part family memoir and part cookbook, and I have to say that "my" famous egg salad is really Miriam's famous egg salad with the addition of chopped dill pickle. If you want to read fiction, though, one of my favorite books that no one but me (and the friends upon whom I've foisted it) has read is Wilton Barnhard's hysterical novel Emma Who Saved My Life. My copy is made up of seventeen loosely connected book molecules at this point. Amazon reviewers range from gushing like me to highly irritated with the style, so I think it's a question of taste only, but I think it's great airplane reading -- and I don't think I'll EVER write dialogue as well as Barnhard does here. Good luck! Have a great trip! Ooh, I love it when people just-kind-of-almost-ask for book recommendations!!!

I can recommend a number of really good ones when you are back on home turf. They are usually too heavy to carry on a plane. Come home safe!
