Quick, sweet n simple reads for flights?

I’m so glad you asked! These past few weeks, I found myself on a number of grueling flights, including a 14 hour trek from San Francisco to Shanghai, followed the very next morning by a 6 hour flight from Shanghai to Bali. Such strain would have likely put me over the edge and into a mental institution once and for all, were it not for my shiny new Kindle Fire (a tablet for the consummate liberal arts graduate), which I credit for saving my life. Mine is loaded with magazines - several months of The New Yorker, Bon Appetit, and Architectural Digest. Also on my virtual bookshelf at the moment are My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey by Jill Bolte-Taylor and The Swerve: How the World Became Modern by Stephen Greenblatt. Plane rides are ideal for breezy nonfiction!
