Anything by Clive Cussler but preferably his Dirk Pitt novels. They've always stood me in good stead whilst away.

I have always enjoyed his books. I always used to take Sven Hassel and HH Kirst on det too.

.....but great with cranberry juice and ice.

I have also recently gotten back into the war poets. Wilfred Owen and Sasoon are great for travelling and each poem is like a little short story which makes you think quite hard about where they were at, psychologically, when they wrote them. Little portals into past wars.

On a less ethereal angle , read them on the train or tube and it makes one look windswept, deep and interesting to chicks - and at my age you need all the weapons you can get.

It was reading a little anthology of poems by the war poets that got me a little more interested in WW1. Birdsong by Faulk is a good read but a bit heavy and I've just read a Band of Brigands, a factual history of the Tank and how it came to be introduced. I tell you what we had life easy to what the first tank men went through.
