I guess you'd have to go with authors you like, or get a list of books? Personally I ussually just grab a couple of books off the shelf and go on instinct so to speak, ussually I don't get steered to wrong, except with the Dan Brown books.
It would be quite easy to turn an IPod or similar into an explosive, but a book?
What do they think your going to do take on a copy of the Communist Manifesto and take over the plane with furious political thought?
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

A transatlantic flight without a book, iPod and noise cancelling headphones sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me. I wonder what the "air rage" incidence is like at the moment?
Perhaps I'll practice some Chi Kung or something...
