    I will appreciate if you can recommend any good technology book (ideally .NET, WPF, s/w design or usability) that I could carry along and read while at the airport.

          Given that I used to write air traffic control software, you might want to get a book of mellow meditations instead. :)

                I recommend this book[^] for light reading while travelling. It's a little dated, but a classic nonetheless.

                                  In the past, one of my flight got canceled because their team tried to upgrade navigation s/w and screwed up big time. This resulted in delay of 8-10 hour to reach my destination :)
