It’s time for another Classics Club spin. For the spin, members select 20 titles from their Classics Club lists and post them in a numbered list on their blogs. On Sunday, October 15, the club selects a number, and that determines which book to read for the spin. The goal this time is to read that book by Sunday, December 3, and post your review.
So, with no further ado, here is my list of 20 books:
- The Book of Dede Korkut by Anonymous
- The Tree of Heaven by May Sinclair
- Hero and Leander by Christopher Marlowe
- The Tavern Knight by Rafael Sabatini
- Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare
- Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
- Tis Pity She’s a Whore by John Ford
- The Deepening Stream by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
- The Princess of Cleves by Madame de Lafayette
- Weatherley Parade by Richmal Crompton
- Cecilia, Memoirs of an Heiress by Fanny Burney
- The Book of Lamentations by Rosario Castellanos
- Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
- The Methods of Lady Waldhurst by Frances Hodgson Burnett
- The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
- The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz
- The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
- Merkland, A Story of Scottish Life by Margaret Oliphant
- Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
- The Prophet’s Mantle by E. Nesbit
Since I have exactly 20 books left on my list, this will be the last spin that I can participate in for a while that doesn’t require repeating some of my entries. I’m interested to see how it turns out.
So you have to read 1 book or all 20?
You just read the book that’s chosen by the spin number. That’s why the list is numbered.
I enjoyed some of those, particularly Our Mutual Friend and The Three Musketeers, but I hope you get The Tavern Knight as I love Sabatini but don’t know anything about that one. Good luck!
I don’t either, but I have his collected works (unfortunately in an ebook), so I just randomly picked it out when I made my list. Thanks!
Our lists are VERY different. I tried to read The Return of the Native but DNF it! Good luck!
I think I have read it before, but a long time ago. Generally, I like Hardy.
Hope you liked your book, which we know now is #2. I am not familiar with either the title or the author.
I haven’t read it yet.
