Reverse Summer Reading List

I haven't read any books. In a while...Aren't I a 3rd-year English/Literature student? Well there's your answer. Between endless piles of papers, revising, required readings, and well, pure laziness, I am currently in the middle of a solid chapter of idleness and I need to get out of it! So here is what I am planning on reading this summer. Any suggestions? Please recommend, because I am definitely out of the loop:

1. Everything Is Illuminated - Jonathan Safran Foer

2. No Country of Old Men - Cormac McCarthy

3. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz

4. A Grief Observed - C.S. Lewis

5. Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen

6. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler - Italo Calvino

Anyways. Please recommend, and I will Traditionally I'm more of an epic novel type person, but up for anything, really.
