What book should I read on the train to Berlin ...

So do I want to be pseudo intellectual, pure pretentious or just authentically myself in my choice of reading matter for my holiday in Berlin?
I suppose the choice is theology, poetry, biography or crime fiction - realistically of course I still have 500 pages of Stieg Larsson to read so I suppose that will win out in the end.
Really what I want is the one thing I don't have - a really great novel I haven't yet read. Any suggestions?
