- For me most books suck, however "Flight Of Passage" by Rinker Buck is/was one of the best and most enjoyable for me.

Ill share my favorite novels, but non-fiction history/aviation related reading is most of what I do.
Of Mice and Men
DaVinci Code
Thousand Mile War
Anything written by Tom Clancy, not his ideas written by others
Any not to cheesy spy novels as well.
