Book recommendations - travelling soon

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.
Book? You mean one of those dead tree things? That's so 20th century.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

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

Irony called, she wants you to stop clubbing people to death with her body.
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

"Using WCF to disrupt flight controls, step-by-step" :-D
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 :)

I think I still have a copy of that I bought in high school ('70s). It isn't anywhere near as bad as the intratubz.
Opacity, the new Transparency.
Did you keep it next to your copy of Abbie's book[^]?
