Book excerpt: Welcome to AIRPORT READING… …with a difference! Four young women, stuck in an airport terminal, courtesy of an ash cloud; strangers, each with a secret and stories to tell. Lucy, 32, is off to the Far East with a small, concealed package; her life has gone off track. She's stuck in a rut, lacking in confidence and worried about keeping her promise to someone in Thailand. Then there's PF, a stunning but puzzling American, Samra the exotic pole dancer and Ann, a fresh faced but naïve Irish girl who's not had much experience of life – or has she? Together they form a bond, first telling stories to pass the time, but the tales begin to take on a different turn as Lucy meets the lovely Fergus, who wants to paint her in oils. Yes, really. And what about the gorgeous Matende? Finally the ash clouds lift; finally each reveals her motive for going to a far-flung destination and it's shock and awe all round with the last revelation. Sexy and serious by turns, Airport Reading will keep you guessing until the very last page…

Download or read book Airport written by Arthur Hailey and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caleb Marcus is a Peacemaker, a roving lawman tasked with maintaining the peace and bringing control to magic users on the frontier. A Peacemaker isn’t supposed to take a life—but sometimes, it’s kill or be killed... After a war injury left him half-scoured of his power, Caleb and his jackalope familiar have been shipped out West, keeping them out of sight and out of the way of more useful agents. And while life in the wild isn’t exactly Caleb’s cup of tea, he can’t deny that being amongst folk who aren’t as powerful as he is, even in his poor shape, is a bit of a relief. But Hope isn’t like the other small towns he’s visited. The children are being mysteriously robbed of their magical capabilities. There’s something strange and dark about the local land baron who runs the school. Cheyenne tribes are raiding the outlying homesteads with increasing frequency and strange earthquakes keep shaking the very ground Hope stands on. Something’s gone very wrong in the Wild West, and it’s up to Caleb to figure out what’s awry before he ends up at the end of the noose—or something far worse...

Download or read book A Week at the Airport written by Alain De Botton and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Architecture of Happiness and The Art of Travel spends a week at an airport in a wittily intriguing meditation on the "non-place" that he believes is the centre of our civilization. In the summer of 2009, Alain de Botton was invited by the owners of Heathrow airport to become their first ever writer-in-residence. Given unprecedented, unrestricted access to wander around one of the world's busiest airports, he met travellers from all over the globe, and spoke with everyone from baggage handlers to pilots, and senior executives to the airport chaplain. Based on these conversations he has produced this extraordinary meditation on the nature of travel, work, relationships, and our daily lives. Working with the renowned documentary photographer Richard Baker, he explores the magical and the mundane, and the interactions of travellers and workers all over this familiar but mysterious "non-place," which by definition we are eager to leave. Taking the reader through departures, "air-side," and the arrivals hall, de Botton shows with his usual combination of wit and wisdom that spending time in an airport can be more revealing than we might think.
