What shall I read on my summer holiday?

So it's just started to chuck it down. Lucky I'm off on my summer holidays in a couple of weeks (New Orleans and then on to Miami as it happens). I'm just beginning to compile my holiday reading and thought the Greenhouse might be able to help me out. On the short list so far are:
Non-fiction
A Whole New Mind- Daniel Pink
The Architecture of Happiness- Alain de Botton
The New East End- Geoff Dench
Good and Bad Power- Geoff Mulgan
Fiction
This Book Will Save Your Life- A.M. Homes
Alentejo Blue- Monica Ali
It's a short short list. So I obviously need help and maybe this (gulp Demos clich' warning) "open source summer reading list" might be interesting/useful more generally.
I'm especially keen on hearing about any books that will look good against a backdrop of art deco opulence, pastel suits and ridiculous cocktails.
