If all goes well, a First Class menu. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I always take along 2 or 3 paperbacks (mystery/suspense/horror) and a crossword puzzle book. If I've finished the books on the trip I'll buy a couple of magazines to read on the way back.

Usually the airline magazine, one of my mysteries (usually have two or three going at the same time), Mode magazine, and a non-fiction (right now "Inheriting Shame" a history of eugenics in the US) book.

Hmmm depends on my mood... usually a nice fiction book... (recently the Left Behind Series for the third time). Also, travel books.... and of course a bible and some bible Study info.

Good reading and great time to concentrate.

I play Delta Force 2 most of the time.

Reading wise - I take a book or magazine. Some long flights I get a nice fat Computer Shopper which weighs about 5 pounds.

Nothing too erudite, I'm afraid: Cosmo, Entertainment Weekly, People. Stuff I wouldn't be caught dead with at home/work. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

1. Magazines that piled up at home while I was on my last trip.

2. Short-attention span reading, so as not to deter a nap, or to read between meal courses:

a. USA Today, the daily bible of the short attention spanned.

b. Comic Relief -- a magazine with the best of the editorial cartoons of the month, plus 4 weeks of Doonsebury, Dilbert, For Better or Worse, Dave Berry, more.

c. Entertainment Weekly.

3. Newstand impulse purchase -- lately, "Brill's Content".

I always work the in-flight magazine crossword (early in the month)then peruse the USA Today that always seems to be around from the hotel or the Park'n Fly.

Aside: What's up with the new typeface for USA Today? Yuck!

For the last several months I've been reading Patrick O'Brian's excellent Aubrey/Maturin series. These novels follow the adventures of two friends: Jack Aubrey, a Royal Navy Captain, and Stephen Maturin, a physician/spy through the Napoleonic wars at the beginning of the 19th century. I'm on the sixth of twenty novels in the series. Best of all, they are easily found at most major airport book shops. Recommended!

I read the WSJ, Time Magazine, PC Computing, PC Magazine, Travel and Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, Los Angeles Magazine, Kiplingers, PC World, USA Today, and whatever other magazine I have accumulated for the flight. All my magazines are read on board. Some flights I have a lot, some a few.

What's one of my pet peeves? People who read them and then just throw them on the floor so the cleaning crew has to clean them up (and possibly delay the next flight).

Pornography. It keeps the families with kids and talkative seatmates at bay.

Honestly, though, I'm the guy on the Thursday night flight trying to go through a week of Wall Street Journals in one sitting.

Well, I usually just listen to my vast MP3 collection on my laptop, but if I MUST read something, it is usually Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, or some golf book I have.

Do you guys have any idea what my favorite leisure activity is? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Sorry...got a little "trigger happy" with this slow server today.

As for two stroke penalties, let's not go there. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I have had three career eagles, though!!!
