Here are my 5 favorite “airplane memoirs.” You can start and finish each one on a cross-country flight!
|
1. First Comes Love by Marion Winik No one could make you laugh and cry harder than Winik, who tells the story of her love affair, marriage, motherhood, and agony with Tony, a gay figure skater. |
|
|
2. Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott Who better to put you on the right spiritual path than a pregnant alcoholic with no support system? |
|
|
3. Dry by Augusten Burroughs People talk about Burroughs’ first memoir, Running with Scissors,  but it’s really this book that reveals the most about him. |
|
|
4. Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robison This book got a lot of attention because it was written by Augusten Burroughs’ Aspergian brother, but what makes it such a great read is that it’s funny and touching. |

5. Hats & Eyeglasses by Martha Frankel Okay, okay, it might be cheating to include my own book, but it’s been called funny, exhuberent, fast paced and hysterical. Need more? |

Back when I was afraid of flying, I read Mary Renault’s novels of ancient Greece, so I could forget flying was ever invented. Now I’m just annoyed with flying.
