Read Spirit of St. Louis, by Chuck Lindbergh. It's all about business trips and flying.

If you mean non-fiction, the list is endless. The Professional Pilot Career Guide by Robert P. Mark is excellent. A good, broad, introductory perspective on how to go about getting started on an airline, and to some extent corporate, piloting career.
If you mean fiction, there's the classic Airport by Arthur Hailey. A more modern author is John J. Nance, whose stuff is really good. Best aviation fiction book I've read, though, is The Downing of Flight Six Heavy by Robert P. Lafferty. Hard to find, but awesome book.

Some real good reads for anyone interested:
by Tony Kern:
-Darker Shades of Blue: The Rogue Aviator
-Flight Discipline
-Redefining Airmanship
All good case studies of accidents, both military and civil, and how they relate to varying forms of aviation safety: from pilot personality types, to training.
By Scott Snook:
-Friendly Fire
Story of events leading up to, and the aftermath of, the accidental shootdown of 2 US Army UH-60s by 2 USAF F-15s over Iraq in 1994.
By Stephen Coontz:
-The Intruders
Follow on to Flight of the Intruder; finds Jake Grafton again sent out on a carrier cruise, this time as a Navy advisor pilot to train crews of a Marine A-6 squadron carrier ops.

Hello Mike,
Thank for the info on "The Intruders". Also, didn't one of Jakes stories involve a terrorist plot against a US aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean? I seem to recall reading something like that a long time ago.
I also seem to recall a Dale Brown (?) novel about a B-52 mission that was a good read.
Regards,
JR

Flight of the Old for your second sentence as Betabry stated. The Coontz book is called Final Flight
