Ah, but maybe Nilly's subconscious has a dark side, like in Forbidden Planet.
Books are the most important decision for any long trip. You never know what you're going to feel like reading when you're six hours into a 12-hour flight.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.
'Serenity'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't fly all the often, but when I do I tend to bring books I've already read so I'm not annoyed by having to stop in the middle of a chapter to board or disembark or whatnot. I think last time I flew I read Snow Crash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't fly with books, since I'm cheap with carrying stuff. One good Scientific American lasts for most flights.

Oh, hell. I'm flying tomorrow and I have nothing to read but some old Business Weeks and a huge hardback that I don't want to carry.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Well, yeah, I also ususally have the Economist, plus Harpers or Atlantic Monthly or New Yorker, plus maybe Bust or something in that vein.
And if we crashed on a desert island you'd all thank me for it.

I'll usually take a book, pick up a newspaper *and* a magazine, *and* a Games magazine to do puzzles when I'm bored.
And the flight I most often take is an hour-long shuttle flight to San Francisco, so it's not like I have a lot of time. I just like to cover all the bases, as my ADD usually goes full bore when I'm on a plane.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Depends on how long the flight is, but I'll usually have two or three books and a Games magazine.

You can still get Games ? I thought it went away.

It did, but it came back. It's been several years now.

Oh no. It's still very much around. Though I mostly only see it in airport newsstands now. You can probably get it in you local chain bookstore or something.
When I fly out of Burbank, their so small that their one newsstand doesn't carry it, but I can always pick up the current issue in SFO, flying back out of San Francisco.
