What do you think of my book selections for my upcoming vacation?

Well, I decided that I wanted:
1. a Russian book
2. a French book
3. an American book
4. a slightly obscure book from a lesser studied country/region

SO, here are my selections (respectively)
1. Lolita
2. The Three Musketeers
3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
4. My Name is Red (Turkey/Orhan Pamuk)

What do you guys think? Bare in mind, I'm not actively looking for classics--just books that I think I'll be genuinely interested in. Any changes you guys would make or what?

Well, the only book on your list that I've actually read is 'The Three Musketeers' but I loved it. 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower' is actually on my list of books I want to read.

If you ever feel the need to read a German book, 'Faust' by Johann Goethe is really good (at least, I thought it was, lol.) It's written like an epic poem, but it's pretty interesting. Has a little bit of everything: the Devil and God make a bet, love, alchemy. Pretty cool.
