Alright, lads. I have a big Jesus flight coming up and would like your finest book recommendations.

Can be fiction or non, I'm open to most genres (ideally nothing prominently featuring plane crashes, lôl), and the only criteria I have is it has to be SO interesting, you forget where you are.

A slide that reads "Why is time important?" with a photo of Captain Jean-Luc Picard with open arms. The slide has bullet points that read:
Much of human behaviour relies on time
Time is a growing area of interest in (cognitive) neuroscience (Calhoun et al., 2014-now; Sporns et al., 2021-now; Faskowitz et al., 2022)
As well as the limitations of canonical networks (Uddin et al., 2019; me et al., 2025)

My husband got so invested in this particular bad date, he invented several excuses to pass by their table so he could eavesdrop EVEN HARDER.
