Ulysses? I mean come on, 'good books' is kinda vague. We've had thousands of years' worth of them. What kind of book? If you just want to be entertained, read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In fact, read that anyways.

Cat's Cradle would be a good choice. the chapters are about as short as the book, so it goes by really fast.... it shouldn't take you more than a 6 hour plane ride to finish.

any kurt vonnegut is really good light reading.

A River Runs Through It. And yes Skimonster, 451 is a quality read. 1984 was enjoyable and thought-provoking as well.

I would recommend 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking. Even if you are not interested in the universe, black holes, or time travel, it is really cool reading by one of the smartest men to ever walk the earth. It is written in lamens terms too, at least that is what he believes.

timeline, or any michael chricton books. i think someone mentioned prey, thats good too. The Da vinci code is entertaining, but it isnt entirely true.
