Up in the Air by Paddy Stapleton
Ryan Bingham's job as a Career Transition Counselor-he fires people-has kept him airborne for years. Although he has come to despise his line of work, he has come to love the culture of what he calls Airworld, finding contentment within pressurized cabins, anonymous hotel rooms, and a wardrobe of wrinkle-free slacks. With a letter of resignation sitting on his boss's desk, and the hope of a job with a mysterious consulting firm, Ryan Bingham is agonizingly close to his ultimate goal, his Holy Grail: one million frequent flier miles. But before he achieves this long-desired freedom, conditions begin to deteriorate. With perception, wit, and wisdom, Up in the Air combines brilliant social observation with an acute sense of the psychic costs of our rootless existence, and confirms Walter Kirn as one of the most savvy chroniclers of American life.
Stapleton, Paddy: - Paddy Stapleton is an English and PE teacher from a small town in Tipperary called Borrisoleigh where he has been entrenched in sports, especially hurling all his life. He represented his county for a number of years and managed to be a part of some great teams with brilliant players. As a child that struggled with literacy, he wanted to produce an Irish book for Irish kids! Sports were his obsession as a child, and providing a story that resonates with the modern-day kid was a huge motivation for him. Through Fitzy and his friends, Up In The Air shows children that no matter how perfect other people's lives seem, there are always struggles, but you can get through them if you persevere.
