Ross King's Brunelleschi's Dome The hotel has views to the dome, so why not pick one book that can tell you about one of the most prominent architectural wonder? I tried reading it ahead, but it is a tad dry, so the enforced sitting in the airplane will do the trick.
She's Fantastical a collection of Australian women's "speculative" fiction. (side note: what's the relationship between speculative and speculum?)
Joanna Russ's To Write Like a Woman
Then there's the book I keep carrying around with me on all of my trips, all of the stretches of unstructured time ... Thinley Norbu's Magic Dance.
And I didn't really count the blank book. Does that make 5?
