Have you ever read one of those 'airport novels'? The

Why do you want to read it? so you can make snarky remarks about the prose and how it isn't 'high art'? then go home to cry at how you got rejected by a publisher YET AGAIN?

why is "I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO" self-described as a motion picture?

From that pile, I might give The Sellout a shot if I had to, but the most obvious choice is Dear Life by Munro. Sometimes literary authors who get a lot of hype show up in stores like these. Last time I was in an airport without a book I bought Zero K

My grandfather gave me an autobiography of a former police commissioner not too long ago. It was very easy reading but actually quite interesting. The guy worked his way up from 0 as a straight-edge nerd so he had a lot to say about how my state's police work. And of course all cops accumulate a few weird and funny stories over the course of their career.

James Baldwin's reputation as one of America's most patrician film-critics has been destroyed forever. He will from now on be remembered as some guy BLM latched onto.

Does Mathew Riley count as Airport Novels?

Because I unorinically love those books. They are pretty much dumb action Hollywood blockbusters in book form because they would be unfilmable due to the ridiculous budget required.
They certainly arnt high art, but they are tremendously entertaining.

He also introduced the single most horrorfying concept I've read in a book. The "museum" of people one of the bad guys had. All his defeated rivals, journalists looking into his shit and anyone else who crossed him ended up in a tank of liquid with irrivmobable life support and spent the rest of thier lives (decades) trapped naked in a vertical coffin looking out at a room full of similarly trapped people in other tanks. Litterally gave me nightmares.
Also in another book he copies the rat torture from 1984, except follows through and let it gouge out the poor bastards eyes out.

I've read a few books like that while going on vacation. I would've been 14 and it was usually some fantasy or YA fiction book. I get the appeal, a lot of people want something relaxing but nothing too lofty or challenging to read, so romance, fantasy, sci-fi and YA fiction are big sellers at the airport.

Saying that, you could pop into a WH Smiths or Waterstones at a UK airport and they'll have some classics on offer too.

I Am Not Your Negro is meant to be good
Hologram for the King is Dave Eggers but that cover is nice so i dunno maybe that one
Hidden Figures maybe just so I can stare at Janelle Monae's face up close while I fap
A Little Life is written by a nip so that will probably be good
