I’d seen the movie; it was a long flight, with little hope of sleep, so I started the paperback. Eric van Lustbader’s “Last Snow.”

McClure, the President’s old friend, trusted confidante, and special assistant – who saved the President’s daughter in a previous book ( I did not read) – finds himself in the middle of murder, espionage, and intrigue with, of course, a beautiful Russian spy. Got me through the night.

At Disney, I found books in my room – but not what I expected – pictures of Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wind in the Willows.
