Which of the following books should I read?

Looking to start a new book. My taste is eclectic but mostly I love great fiction. I need advice on which of these books I should read. They are all on my bookshelf - please recommend or discourage if you have read any of them:

1. The Kitchen God's Wife - Amy Tan

2. Jailbird - Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

3. 100 Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

4. Haroun and the Sea of Stories - Salman Rushdie

5. The Three Muskateers - Alexander Dumas

6. The Chronicles of Narnia (I have seen the movies but not read it...is it worth it after having seen the movies multiple times?)

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INPUT!

    The Chronicles of Narnia. Those are books you can never get tired of. Yes, it's definitely worth reading them even though you've seen the films because the films are not a patch on the books. They changed too much.

  • Jailbird & The Chronicles of Narnia

    If you like adventure and humor, go for Dumas. The Three Musketeers is a lot of fun.

    I vote for anything by Kurt Vonnegut... but I am an old bat...!
