Milwaukee is such a decent place. At the airport, there’s a large used-books store where you can buy great literature for the flight instead of the usual overpriced magazines and motivational reads.
My haul:

If you aren’t reading Wallace Stegner yet, you should start. He’s phenomenal. I’m reading his The Angle of Repose, and I plan to clutch this collection of short stories to my chest while I’m reading the novel. Two Stegners at once, what can be better?
Loving your country means loving its literature. Stegner is some of the very best in American letters. He’s also a fascinating person, married to his wife for 59 years in a profound relationship that inspired much of his writing.
