    Currently reading and after that I got a book of little known facts about NYC that I bought at Strand Bookstore in Manhattan.

    Well, as a 10-year 4Runner owner, I humbly and enthusiastically recommend…mine! Readers have called it “a thoroughly enjoyable read” and “entertaining whether you’re in the aviation industry or not,” and described the writing as “clever, meaty, and often poetic.”
    ==
    Drew, a twenty-something fed up with his unhinged boss and the schtick of sales work, brashly quits to chase his dream—right into the dog-eat-dog financial chaos of the 1980s airline industry. After nearly going broke, he lands a part-time gig slinging bags for a quirky little carrier. It’s half the pay, and the industry is in a fiscal nosedive, but who cares? Between loving the work and hopping free flights, he’s having a blast!

    Then an in-flight tragedy becomes a life-altering fork in the road. Helping a grieving family work through the aftermath sparks an unlikely romance—and a whirlwind of carefree adventures across the country. But economic realities soon close in, and there’s no avoiding the hard truths—or the tough choices—needed to survive in an infamously volatile business.

    I don't usually have a book stashed in my 4Runner but I did recently finish "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne as a side quest read while I chip away at reading "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith.

    I’m listening to the Joe Picket audiobooks on road trips, they’re a great series to make the miles fly by.
    Gotta agree with your assessment of the TV show. I was disgusted after 2 1/4 episodes and abandoned it.

    Wealth of nations, as true today as in 1776. Two thumbs up.
