Just finished 'Fate is the Hunter.' What a wonderfully written book about the early days of air travel. I'm now reading 'Catch-22' which I'm not sure if I read before, but its tone,dark humor, and sarcasm is taking a little while for me to grasp.

Catch-22 is friggin' awesome, but it takes some time to get into. For me it was a few chapters before I started to get his style of humor. Also took me a bit to get my head around the non-linear narrative. Ultimately, I was glad to have stuck with it.

God, No! by Penn Jillette. A collection of rants and personal stories, with his atheism as a (sort of) central theme. Not what I'd call mentally challenging, but interesting and very easy to read.

On A Plane
Just started into "Red Blooded Risk" by Aaron Brown. Aaron is a very smart guy, which is kind of an understatement, and mixes psychology into a type of behavioral finance, mixed with very sophisticated mathematics.

I've only read the first couple of chapters on a plane flight, but it has the showings to be a very thought provoking book on the topics of mathematical finance, behavioral finance, and risk.
