My Five Must Read Books for Reading on a Jet Plane

Traveling and reading are two pastimes that many people enjoy. In fact, these two pastimes are often combined on a daily basis. This is due to the fact travelers must past many hours while traveling on a plane without much to keep them entertained; therefore many travelers choose reading on a plane as their in flight entertainment. I love to travel and read so when I get on a plane I often have two books in my backpack to pass the time between sleeping on the plane. Moreover, I have had some interesting conversations with other travelers who read for their in flight entertainment. Plus, I am an avid reader therefore, I am very confident that can provide others with five must read novels for travel. Here are my five must read books for reading on a jet plane.
