help please!

i'm trying to come up with a reading list for the summer and hopefully, for the rest of the year. i'll try to read at least one book every month. would you have any suggestions? it could be fiction or non-fiction.
if it's non-fiction, i'd appreciate it if you can suggest those that talk about writing, poetry, personal reflection/self-help type books that aren't cheesy (like einstein's dreams or pilgrim at tinker creek) or about travel (but not travel guides). no programming books please.
if it's fiction, i'd try anything but thrillers and suspense. i wouldn't mind trying science fiction and magical books like lord of the rings or harry potter. pero wag sana yung too-geeky sci-fis. i'd prefer chick lit books (please don't judge me) or poetry anthologies (preferably of poets like gluck or szymborska) or classics (from the victorian period up). or comics (i'm only beginning to appreciate it).
masyado bang maarte? please help naman if you have any suggestions, i would really appreciate it. thanks.
