to read or not to read

I am not a reader. I like to read, but I don't. However, for an English semester project, I have chosen to read one novel before the semester is over (this goes along with my final goal of being a better communicator.) So I have been researching and found Time Magazine's 100 All- Time Novels (from 1923-2005). From this and other research I have compiled three novels which I would like to read in the very near future (on the airplane to Hawaii, for example.) Help me pick which one to read! (This means you, Karl. You didn't graduate with a Bachelors in English for nothing! And Nate... I've seen those reading logs.)

Call of the Wild by Jack London
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
