Default Good Cross Country Reads

So winter is over, but for those rainy or windy days or low overcast or
airplane down days or . . . I'd like to order some books to read along
the lines of Cannibal Queen (Coonts), Flight of Passage (Rinker Buck),
Flight of the Gin Fizz (Kisor), or Zero 3 Bravo (Gosnell). All are
cross country in a SEL.

Any suggestions.

Richard Bach's aviation books - Biplane, Stranger to the Ground, and Nothing
By Chance are great reads, as is Ernest K. Gann's Fate is the Hunter.

Seconded.

I don't know if that's exactly what the OP had in mind when he referred to
"good cross country read," but this book is truly memorable.
