I've got 5 books on my bedside table - which one to read?

I'm feeling particularly indecisive at the moment, so I've picked 5 books off my bookself but can't pick which one to read. So... should I read:-

Myra Breckinridge - Gore Vidal
The Observations - Jane Harris
The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The Secret History - Donna Tartt
Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

The last two books I read are The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen (disappointing) and A Prayer For Owen Meany - John Irving (fantastic, now in my top 5 books) if that helps...

Never let me go is the only one of those I've read. It's excellent.

The Secret History. My copy is at my parents' house and I was just thinking I wanted to reread it this Easter.
