Top 10 Airplane Books
O, ye of little faith in the in-flight movie! Dan Brown, whose latest novel, The Lost Symbol, hits stores Sept. 15, is the undisputed king of airplane books — the not-too-heavy, not-too-long potboilers perfect for a long layover. But who else makes the list? Hudson Booksellers — a staple of departure terminals nationwide — shared with TIME a list of its Top 10 best sellers over the past five years
Angels & Demons, Dan Brown
Everyone must already own The Da Vinci Code. Angles and Demons, the prequel to Dan Brown's mega best seller, reigns supreme at airport bookstores. It's not hard to see why: the plot, which focuses on an improbable attempt by the ancient order of the Illuminati to destroy the Vatican (using antimatter, natch), makes perfect sense after being lulled into a state of travel-induced half-sleep. It's also the type of book that has made Brown lots and lots of money.
