An out of town friend got married this week-end and I was blessed enough to be able to fly down for the wedding. Flying is one of my favorite things to do... some of my happiest moments are spent soaring above the clouds, watching patchwork fields and miniature rivers pass beneath me.
Another reason I love flying, though, is the opportunity it gives me to read for a long while without any sort of interruption. Apart from the gorgeous view out the plane window, there's little to distract someone on a plane. My carry-on bags generally have several books in them -- I'm never sure quite what type of book I'll want to read on the plane and I like to be prepared. Who knows if we might get get caught in traffic or something? ;-)
Books finished on a plane:
* Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (a re-read -- two days before the movie release -- hoo-yeah!)
* The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (I've heard him described as the German C. S. Lewis, and that seems to be an accurate description)
* Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (of course, I've already written about her)
--- So next time you're on a plane, bring along a book! You'll feel on top of the world.
