If you are a Miller die-hard, I recently read The Comics Journal Library: Frank Miller, which is a collection of interviews with him. A very interesting read.
Also, the upcoming book Eisner/Miller looks interesting as well.
I can't find my copy right now (and can't easily find it via Google), but Stanley Coren's "Sleep Thieves" mentions a study showing that you will not reach full REM sleep unless you are able to recline past a certain angle (something less than 30 degress from horizontal, if I recall).
Basically, most airplane seats don't let you recline far enough to get effective sleep.
Awesome. I'm bookmarking it right next to Apocalypse Pooh.

Excellent. Thank you all. Pretty sad to have a first-hit Google query fed back at me.

Connecting kuatto's and the_leviathan's comments to each other... James Gleick also has a book of photos called Nature's Chaos.
