ESJ's Comments
I'd recommend Bob Harris' "Prisoner of Trebekistan." It's the most insightful and thought-provoking airplane read I've ever had to fortune to come by, so much so that it's the sort of book I'm recommending to pretty much everyone. Harris writes about his stint as one of the winningest contestants on Jeopardy!, but he doesn't brag--he sometimes gets by on the skin of his teeth, and has to resort to some...unconventional means to keep his recollection of lists of information in order.
