Don't have a picture, but here's a post from lost-forum where somebody recognized it.

It looks to me like the book he's reading is called Lancelot, and the first letter of the first name of the author looks like a W.

I looked it up online, and there's a book from the 70s called Lancelot by a guy named Walker Percy. Here's the summary:

"Percy's most despairing novel, this is the story of mad Lancelot Lamar, who is so consumed by jealousy that he kills his unfaithful wife by blowing up their house--an event in which he himself is badly burned. In the hospital, he narrates this terrible story to his sympathetic friend Percival."

Interesting...

Edit: I just found a picture. If you look at the book Sawer was reading, it's the same book:

Lancelot
eta: good pic of the airplanes. On another board, people were saying they had 'Oceanic' on them, but no one had pictures
