Recommended reading?

I've got a nice 13 hour flight coming up in a couple weeks, and I figured I'd used that time for some good, actually educational reading. Does anyone have some linguistics-related books they could recommend?

My main interests are sociolinguistics (especially World Englishes and second language identity), pragmatics, Japanese/Korean linguistics, and second language acquisition. I'm not looking for textbooks, though, but more nonfiction reference/novels.
