Question: What Authors Would You Take w/You on Long Flight?

DeePee: The Wall Street Journal used to (perhaps they still do) publish a Friday column: “The 5 best books on ——————-” (fill in the blank) which was always a delightful read. How about this? The 5 best authors to get you through a 12-hour plane flight?

DFO: On my last two flights to Portland (one hour), I read a magazine of reviews of all “Seinfeld” shows and started to read “The Phantom of the Opera” by Gaston Leroux. If I had to take a 12-hour flight, I’d opt for Stephen King, John Steinbeck, Sports Illustrated, an in-flight movie, and something by a journalist (H.L. Mencken, Herb Caen, Walter Winchell).
