In today’s Wall Street Journal there’s a review of a novel that will probably appeal to anyone who’s ever found themselves stuck at the airport. And these days, that’s a pretty big audience.

Here’s a link to the review about Dear American Airlines by Jonathan Miles. The book takes the form of a letter written to the airline after a flight cancellation leaves a man stranded at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Reviewer Scott Morris writes: “…Now, we’ve all come to expect being stuck in airports, and we’ve not come to like it. Not a bit. There is a certain rage that results from being treated like truant kindergartners, potential hijackers and dull herds of cattle. But most of us endure the indignities and swallow the rage. Not Benjamin R. Ford.”

I can’t wait to read it!

The folks at Coudal Partners are a curious, creative and crafty crew. They not only curate the marvelous MOOM– the Museum of On-Line Museums – they organize lots of other intriguing projects.

Such as? The Field-Tested Books project, which is specially-designed for travelers.

Recognizing that “reading a certain book in a certain place uniquely affects a person’s experience with both,” the Coudal characters invite you to send along a 300-500 word “review.” They’re not looking for straight book reviews, but rather descriptive reviews of experiences.

This year’s “edition,” as they call it, kicks off in a few weeks. To get an idea of what they’re talking about, check out the reviews from 2006.
