Plane Reading

Marty71 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2007, 10:10 PM

So, I am going to be spending 15-20 hours on a plane over the next three days to attend 10 hours of meetings (welcome to corporate america all you youngsters). All during the greatest american holiday, Superbowl Sunday. Anyways I am looking for suggestions on how to pass the time. Can anybody direct me to any frog related articles I can print? I have printed just about everything from Saurien, printed Brents tree construction post, and various other articles. Non frog related will work too. Good books, etc.? Sadly I read pretty fast. Thanks..

Marty

Favorite airplane read = Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton

Favorite frog book = In Search of the Golden Frog by Marty Crump ( This may be my favorite book of all time)

I don’t know if you can download these anywhere maybe you can buy them for the next trip.

You may want to pick up last months reptile magazine. They had a really good article in it about dart frogs. It was about a man looking to find darts in their natural environment on bastimentos, colon and san cristobal islands. Its not very long but it is rather interesting if you plan to go there some day.

This is a great book, even though its simply a modified Beowulf.

Thanks to everybody for their replies. That was actully the last act of my 4 day old $1100 Dell computer before it crashed, hence the late reply. It was nothing that 91 minutes on the phone couldn't fix, and good thing I wasn't too attached to all those pictures of my daughters first Christmas. Gotta love Dell.

I went with Busting Vegas, a pretty cool story about some MIT kids that used math to take millions from casinos playing balckjack that i saw at the Airport. I will be picking up the recommendations everybody mentioned (already read the crichton book, definitely good...) so thanks again.
