Usually for plane rides I red Dean Koontz or Stephen King because I get so into the books time goes by that much faster. But Ive read pretty much all of their books that they have out.


You should definitely add Cussler to that list. :) He's awesome. Be sure it's the Dirk Pitt series. :)

When I had a long flight I preferred Heinlien. His more lengthy works were better for passing time and maintaining my interest for long period of reading. Stranger in a Strange Land and Time Enough for Love were both great ones for that.

Thanks guys!


Favor to ask. Any books yall would recommend? Im putting together a pile of books to take with me. The more the better.

If you haven't read these books go try and find the Ceasar series by Conn Iggulden and his newest one about Genghis Khan. They make long plane rides go by fast and also are good to read over and over. If you can't find them shoot me a PM and I will put you a care package together before you head out or once you get there.

Godspeed.
