book me

I am searching for a "stick your nose in a book and where did the time go" lengthy novel for our flight to France...suggestions? And if you're planning a long flight or expect layovers during your holiday break might I suggest "I Am Charlotte Simmons" by Tom Wolfe. It's from 2004 and 688 pages and good to the very last period. I read it on a Christmas trip to Mexico and could not put it down.
