    I have a trip coming up that will be a five hour flight there and another five hour flight back. Suggest exactly 2 books for me that I can read in 5 hours and will pair well together as bookends for my trip. Please don’t suggest like 8 choices I want exactly 2 that you think go together

      Into the Wild and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

      Into Thin Air may be a biiiit of a stretch for five hours but that depends on how fast you read

      Just because of your user name:

      Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger

      The Chosen by Chaim Potok

      (It would help us help you if you mentioned what kind of books you tend to like)

      Albert Camus’ *The Stranger*, followed by Kamel Daoud’s *The Mersault Investigation*.

    4. Falling.

      Drowning, both by TJ Newman.

      Sorry I’m an asshole for suggesting these to read on a flight.

      I love these demanding, anal posts. “Suggest exactly 2 books for me that I can read in 5 hours that pair well together as bookends.”

      GTFO

    6. When it comes to baseball, I haven’t read anything. So I’ll take a shot in the dark.

      I can’t concentrate on anything but genre fiction on airplanes. If you’re like me, then maybe you’d like two cozy, short and comforting books, because travel sucks anymore. One healing fiction and one mystery, so you have a bit of cozy variety:

      **The Guest Cat** by Takashi Hiraide

      **A Morbid Taste for Bones** (Brother Cadfael #1) by Ellis Peters
