I would fly back-and-forth between Toronto and Amsterdam on a two week schedule and I'd buy piles of books in airport kiosks, to read them on the plane because I can't sleep on a plane. Most of those books did not hang around to be read for a second time but all of Tom Wolfe's books are still here and have been read to bits. The man has a way with words that allow you to really get into the heads of the characters, they come to life in a way that very few other writers have been able to do for me.
