I’ve always had a soft spot for airport books—those fast-paced, exciting adventure novels by authors like Michael Crichton, Robert Ludlum, and, if I’m in a quirky mood, even Dean Koontz. They might not have been written with literary acclaim in mind, but that’s part of the charm. These books are fun, gripping, and perfect for getting lost in a story. And let’s be honest, writing something that keeps people hooked from start to finish is no small feat. There’s a kind of genius in crafting a page-turner, and I’ll always appreciate the escapism they offer, especially during long layovers.
