Before you say "see previous threads", know that I have spent an hour going through them and amazon and have only slightly narrowed down my choices.

I'm finishing up with finals and boards and will be spending two and a half peaceful weeks on the beach in the Caribbean and need some fresh reading material.

I already have a non-fiction backlog of books I'm halfway through (GEB, the great influenza, the origin of wealth, conspiracy of fools to name a few) that I am setting aside temporarily.

I just finished Infinite Jest and rekindled my love for fiction.

Some of my favorites include Gatsby, Dorian Gray, anything Borges, Easton-Ellis, Vonnegut, catch 22, nabokov, dostoevsky, also enjoy sci fi-have read heinlein, card, adams.

Some books/authors I have noted from past threads:

Will prob pick one of these two I cant believe I havent read:
To Kill a Mockingbird
In Cold Blood
Read one? both? Which first?

Also looking into Eco or Roth? I wasn't really sold on the Amazon info/reviews.

Any ideas on short stories? Have obv read 9 stories. Also recently enjoyed Hempel and O'brien.

SciFi ideas: Cryptonomicron? Neuromancer? Ive heard good things about these.

Also, whats a good translation of Brother's Karamazov to read? I've read about half of a really poor one and want to switch.

Any other varied suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance!
