Just listened to Dear American Airlines, 2009, by Jonathan Miles and really enjoyed it. It supposed to be a letter from a disgruntled passenger Bennie Ford, a fifty-three-year-old failed poet turned translator who is waiting in O’Hare airport forever, trying to get to his daughter’s wedding. A grumpy, believable, funny, very flawed characater that you are routing for and it’s a well written story. The reader did a great job.

Mark Billingham’s latest is good too; From the Dead, 2010.
