Charlotte's Web and Moby Dick.
There is much surprising about being an underdog to come out with.....your life.....ok, maybe I spoiled both of them for you, but you should read some classics. See why they worked, how they didn't, maybe you should email me a 500 word report at the end of summer.....lol....
Just kidding, read tons of books, tons of authors, tons of different topics, you will expand your knowledge by .....TONS.....
Reading books is a good thing.....drinking lots of beer and watching women in bizarre sports,,,,,not so educational
ps....used to oil wrestle, I'm sure I didn't inspire anyone to read some Shakespeare.....

You didn't say what kind of themes or what age group.
Try:
Hawksong: The Kiesha'ra: Volume One
by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes,
Trappings of fantasy veil a stock romance plot. Nineteen-year-old Danica is a shapeshifting hawk. Heir to the throne of an avian race, she hates the generations-old war with the serpent people that has claimed so many of her kin. Her worst enemy, the dreaded, but sexy, Zane Cobriana of the serpiente, proposes a peace treaty bound by a marriage between them. Though Danica mistrusts Zane, how can she refuse the chance at peace? Despite their racial differences, Zane and Danica find each other physically appealing. Is their attraction enough to overcome centuries of hatred? Though the fantasy is strained, Danica's (PG-rated) love story, which follows the plot of conventional adult romance, is enjoyable for that genre.

To open your minds eye to many possibilities "Piercing The Darkness" but may be difficult to obtain.
Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy for a little lightheartedness and "Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars" to assist you if you are so inclined.
I do hope that you end up with very little time to read and too many people to me and place to go and things to do. Have a great holiday

'Kafka on the Shore' by Haruki Murakami.
A very clever book that interweves different stories; it's really easy to read but also a little bit different to a lot of the mass-market stuff out there.
You won't be diasppointed.
Kaden's (above) suggestion, in my opinion is a bit too heavy-going for a holiday away. Sure, 'The Unbearable...''s a good book, but it's a bit hard going at times...
