Classics Club Spin #38

It’s time to participate in another Classics Club spin. If you want to participate, post a numbered list of 20 books from your Classics Club list by Sunday, July 21. On that date, the club will announce a number, which determines which book you read for the spin. Then you try to read the book and post a review by September 22.

So, here’s my list for the spin:

  1. Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
  2. Hero and Leander by Christopher Marlowe
  3. The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz
  4. Cecilia, Memoirs of an Heiress by Frances Burney
  5. The Tavern Knight by Rafael Sabatini
  6. Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare
  7. Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
  8. The Methods of Lady Walderhurst by Frances Hodgson Burnett
  9. Merkland, A Story of Scottish Life by Margaret Oliphant
  10. The Deepening Stream by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
  11. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
  12. Tis Pity She’s a Whore by John Ford 
  13. The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

  1. Interesting list, especially the Burney who I hadn’t heard of until recently and am now very keen to read; hope you get a good one!

  2. Whew. You’ve got some wonderful books on your list, especially Les Misérables and The Three Musketeers. I have twenty books left to read on my list, but I purposefully chose to repeat the ten I most want to read. I’ll publish my list tomorrow.

  3. That’s an interesting list, I’ve only read the Shakespeare. I would really like to read Merkland though.

    1. I don’t know how available it will be, but I have it on her complete works online. I would much rather have a hardcopy book, so if I get it, I’ll look for one.

  4. I have not read any books on your list, but it seems to be quite a variety of interesting books. Since I am late with comments I now know the number, 17. I hope you are happy to read Merkland, A Story of Scottish Life by Margaret Oliphant, of which I don’t know anything. I will await your review.
