Summer Reading?

There has been a depressing lack of reading in my life since I finished the ol' thesis (defended April 1 and final deposited yesterday...why oh why did it take me three weeks to rid myself of the beast???) and I am desperate for new reading material.

But I stumbled across the following quote and wondered if I should simply revisit old favorites.

An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only.I can’t imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once. Clearly one must read every good book at least once every ten years. The sure mark of an unliterary man is that he considers “I’ve read it already” to be a conclusive argument against reading a work. . . . Those who read great works, on the other hand, will read the same work ten, twenty or thirty times during the course of their life.

-C.S. Lewis

Any suggestions for new ones to add to the pile? Also, what are your summer reading plans??
