I just read The Terminal Man by Sir Alfred Mehran. It is a true story about a guy who has been living in the terminal of a french Airport for 16 years. The Tom Hanks movie The Terminal was based on his story. It is a easy to read account of his life leading up to arriving at the airport, as well as the various accounts of him trying to leave and obtain citizenship in various locations. However when he has the chance to become free (some 11 years later) he instead chooses to stay at the airport. So in some ways I feel sorry for him but in others I think that he isn't helping himself! Interesting read though!
