Flying next week, what books should I pick up to read in the amex lounge so people think I'm refined and mysterious?

No one cares. The ones who care actually despise you for reading a book while they're left with their smartphone addiction.
They'll think: 《damn, I should've bought that book with me, but now I'm stuck here like an idiot looking at my smartphone. Damned be this stranger for making me feel that way》

This.
I read this during a "jury duty" day.
Someone at the table asked about it; I started explaining how modern science has it completely wrong.
A lot of people from nearby tables were clearly listening in on the conversation.
Good times.
