Read the Dominique Lapierre/Larry Collins book Is New York Burning? If you've read the Fifth Horseman, this book is a rehash of the nuclear-bomb-hidden-in-New-York-theme set in post-9/11 context - a very disappointing read from two really neat authors. What was interesting though was that I couldn't find this book on Amazon (so I could help slam it with a review)! It seems it had it's world premiere in India - it's here before being released in the US. Me says with good reason, and hopes it isn't released anywhere else!
The Little Prince makes for a far more interesting read - even if you do the typical grown up thing and allow your mind to wander, wondering about the futile aspects of adult existence. A short read, it describes the travails of the Little Prince from planet to planet, each populated by a lone adult, with a whimsical "grown up" trait. It comes well recommended!
